Chapter 262: Joy and Convincing

Zhang Liao appeared in front of him like a ghost, no matter who he was, he would be startled. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhang Cheng, because they had already had a disagreement, and any move in the inner city could affect their battle situation.

"I ...... I...... The general ......" Zhang Cheng was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Hey, you're not trying to kill me? What's going on in the inner city? Can you please say it faster?" Zhang Liao was so anxious that he was about to sweat.

"Hurry up, are you dumb?"

"I'll tell you, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid with me here, hurry up!"

Suddenly, there was a noise in the military tent, which was the same as buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and Zhang Cheng was just an ordinary soldier, and now he was so scared that he was about to cry, at this time, Zhang Liao also calmed down, so he waved his hand and quieted everyone down.

"It's okay, Zhang Cheng, you say it slowly, everyone is anxious about what happened in the inner city, not to intimidate you. Rest assured, with me here, no one can do anything to you! Zhang Liao patted his chest and reassured.

Hearing these words, Zhang Chengcai gradually eased up, and said: "General, just now I got the legend of flying pigeons, three days ago, the marshal personally went into battle, led 10,000 people, divided into three groups of people, and occupied the three streets of Nanyan Street, Nan'an Street, and Yuhua Street, although later the Xiliang army sent reinforcements, but in the end it was still a feather to return, and the marshal abolished all the original laws and regulations in Chang'an City, reformulated the laws, and began to implement new laws and regulations in the territory he occupied!"

"Not only that, but the marshal also gave the houses, fields, and property of those corrupt officials, as well as those black-hearted businessmen, to the people, and in just a few days, the people all admired the marshal very much, and even other places, including the people living around the palace, secretly moved to the marshal, which won the hearts of the people!"

After finishing his words in one breath, Zhang Cheng stood in place panting, his face sweating hot.

And at this time, all the people were stunned, they didn't expect that in the past few days, Lu Bu not only kept the original territory, but also expanded three streets, you know, Chang'an City is Dong Zhuo's base camp, there are nearly 200,000 Xiliang troops in the city, and Lu Bu's subordinates have a total of less than 10,000......

"You...... Are all you telling the truth? Are you sure you didn't lie about the military?" Zhang Liao said in a trembling voice, although he also very much hoped that this news was true, but as a general, with many years of experience in warfare, it was impossible for him to expand his territory in such a predicament.

"General, what I said is the truth, don't believe it, you see ......" Zhang Cheng swore a strong curse, and finally saw that no one believed him, so he took out the legend of the flying pigeon from his arms and handed it to Zhang Liao.

After a while, Zhang Liao spread out his hands and asked Zhang Cheng to pass the note to the others.

"Brothers, we are not doing useless work to besiege Chang'an City during this time, you see, the marshal has begun to counterattack, I believe it won't be long before we join forces with the marshal outside the city, and we will definitely be able to break through Chang'an City!" Zhang Liao said excitedly, his hands raised high, and the whole person was already in a state of extreme excitement.

He was still worried just now, how could he stabilize the morale of the army, and now, the news from the city is not just convincing everyone with facts? Expanding the territory, this means that Lu Bu has begun to counterattack......

But before Zhang Liao could be happy, someone asked: "General, this news is not fake, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I'm just going to say my opinion, the marshal can use a total of less than 10,000 people now, Zhang Cheng said that the marshal led 10,000 people to expand the territory, then his base camp is empty? Of course, for the marshal, I personally have no doubts, his martial arts are really peerless, and I believe that it is impossible for anyone here to defeat him, but now that he is fighting, not in the ring, how can Dong Zhuo not attack?"

This general said his doubts, in fact, this is also everyone's doubt, Lu Bu is the number one fierce general in the world, they admit this, because when they first arrived here, Gao Shun and the five of them, no matter from any aspect, are not Lu Bu's opponents at all, even if the last five people go together, they will fail, but to make them believe that Lu Bu will not be affected at all, expanding the territory, it is simply a fantasy!

The generals and pioneers looked at Zhang Liao with puzzled eyes, and he himself was speechless when asked, not knowing how to explain! In an instant, the noisy military tent was now silent.

I don't know how long it took, a weak voice suddenly sounded, "General, I'm sorry, I forgot to say just now, a few days ago, in the Xiliang army, four people led by Wang Liang, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, defected from the Xiliang army and took refuge in the marshal......"

In the middle of speaking, the crowd suddenly began to search for the source of the sound.

"Zhang Cheng, why didn't you say it just now?"

"yes, are you lying to us?"

"Hmph, let me tell you, lying about the military is a capital offense!"

After looking for a while, they found out that the person who spoke was Zhang Cheng, and then spoke. When Zhang Cheng heard the word capital crime, he trembled with fright, and almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Zhang Liao's eyes were quick and he stabilized him, and said: "Zhang Cheng, it's okay, I'm here, why didn't you say it just now?"

"They...... The look in their eyes just now was terrifying...... I was so scared that I forgot about it for a while......" Zhang Cheng said in a low trembling voice, not even daring to raise his head.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless, this Zhang Cheng, as a soldier, was so timid that he almost hurt because he didn't say a word clearly......

"Brothers, do you believe it now?" Zhang Liao turned to the crowd with a hint of determination in his eyes. Hmph, these guys are still dissatisfied with Lu Bu becoming the marshal of the Toyota Army, otherwise they wouldn't have doubted Lu Bu again and again.

However, although everyone didn't speak and lowered their heads one by one, everyone still had doubts in their hearts, because in their hearts, they didn't believe that Lu Bu could survive in a desperate situation. At this moment, a voice came from outside the military tent: "Report! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another soldier rushed into the tent.

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, according to the report from the spies, the marshal did lead 10,000 people to occupy three streets such as Nan'an Street, Nanyan Street, and Yuhua Street, and the marshal now has an extra 30,000 troops under his command, and it has been confirmed by the spies that it is Wang Liang and other four people in the Xiliang army who led his subordinates to take refuge in the marshal!" The soldier half-knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice.

At this time, everyone believed, even those who had doubts just now.

"Humph! What do you think? You're all convinced, right? Marshal He is the number one fierce general in the world, and his subordinates have countless abilities, Gao Shun, you also saw it that day, right? Yes? To put it mildly, if it weren't for the marshal, in order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, the big traitor, in one fell swoop, how could he fight Dong Zhuo alone in the city?" Zhang Liao's voice was higher than the other, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart.

After everyone listened, they couldn't help but have a trace of shame on their faces, when Zhang Cheng reported just now, they had always been skeptical, and once felt that Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao to play a play for them in order to stabilize the army's morale. And now, with the confirmation of the spies, how dare they not believe it?

Since ancient times, once the two armies go to war, each side will send their own spies, but secretly inquire about the other's news. And the Xiliang army itself is also another spy, but they miscalculated this time, the Fengtian army firmly surrounded Chang'an City, whether it was a spy sent out from the underground tunnel in the city, or a spy sent out in the night, they were basically discovered by Zhang Liao.

As for those who escaped by luck, what they got was useless news, because they were besieging the city, and they were defending the city, even if they got the information, what could they do? Could it be that he immediately rushed out with people to start a war with the Mukden army? Just kidding, although Dong Chenglong relied on Dong Zhuo's relationship to sit on the position of marshal, his martial arts were still in the top rank in the Xiliang army, and he rushed out that day and was killed by Gao Shun in a short time.

Who would be willing to risk their lives to go out of the city to fight? Especially these people are already pampered, each has their own wealth and status, which one is willing to sacrifice?

In addition, during the three days that Lu Bu was in a coma, they had already inquired clearly, the besieging army was the Fengtian army, and the base camp was Hanoi, so Emperor Ren Tian asked Emperor Xian to give a holy decree to the Taishou and warlords who were close to Hanoi, so that these people could occupy Hanoi and cut off the back road of the Fengtian army first.

But the news from the flying pigeon book made Emperor Xian and Emperor Ren Tian helpless, it turned out that Hanoi had long been occupied by others, because this time besieging Chang'an, the Fengtian army transferred all its troops and brought everyone outside Chang'an, isn't this obviously a battle against the water?

For the army with such thoughts, even if their nest is demolished, they will be indifferent. As for letting these warlords lead troops to relieve the siege of Chang'an, it is even more wishful thinking, the warlords wish that the Fengtian army and the Xiliang army would fight to defeat both, and when the city is broken, they will have a yellow finch behind.

Moreover, they have absolute confidence that no matter how fierce the war is, both sides will never harm Emperor Xian......

"General, I will be convinced, from now on, with the marshal at the head of the horse, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not hesitate!" Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison, the look on their faces was extremely respectful, joking, in this desperate situation, it is simply incredible to be able to expand the territory, if it were them, it would not be possible at all. At this moment, they admired Lu Bu very much, and he deserved to be the number one fierce general in the world.

And Zhang Liao looked at the people who were happy and convinced, nodded gently, and was already very excited in his heart, and he really wanted to shout a few times on the spot! In fact, after such a long war, it is more "nesty" this time, the Xiliang army does not go out at all, let them insult and call war outside the city, people just don't go out.

In the past few days, not to mention the soldiers, even Zhang Liao himself felt bored to death. And now, after getting the news of Lu Bu's expansion of territory, he is naturally overjoyed, at least, with them holding back the main strength of the Xiliang army outside the city, Lu Bu's actions in the city will have a few more chances of winning. And he also believes that the day of breaking through Chang'an is not far away.

After a while, all the soldiers withdrew, and only Gao Shun and the others remained.

"Gao Shun, what's wrong?" Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun, whose face was a little unnatural, and asked suspiciously.

"General......" Gao Shun lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time, his voice getting lower and lower.

"Oh, just say something, why are you so mother-in-law?" Zhang Liao shook his head and said with some displeasure. That Zhang Cheng was frightened by everyone just now, and what kind of person is Gao Shun, how can he not speak well, he is really anxious to die!

At this time, Gao Shun slowly raised his head, his face was very ugly, and said, "General, our food is only enough for five days......

At this point, Zhang Liao's face changed instantly, although he had guessed it before, but now that the soldiers under him said it, it was a different feeling, "Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to do this!" Zhang Liao patted Gao Shun's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"General, you must find a way as soon as possible, if the brothers know that there is not enough food......" When he said this, Gao Shun did not continue, but his next words, Zhang Liao had already guessed, and after a few minutes, Zhang Liao waved his hand and let Gao Shun go out.

A man sits in a chair, does not say a word, covers his head with his hands, and his heart is in extreme trouble, and there is no food, which is even more dangerous than losing a battle. The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the army without food would immediately mutiny, which Zhang Liao knew very well.

In particular, the vast majority of the people in the Mukden Army were formed from disaster victims and refugees from all over the country. They themselves were displaced by the war, and they did not have enough food and clothing, so they joined the Mukden army, and if they knew that there was no food in the army, the result could be imagined.

The main thing is that in this attack on Chang'an, they have abandoned the base camp of Hanoi......
