Chapter 553: Jealousy and Suspicion

Zhang Liao ran to Xiahou Shang's camp, but was misunderstood by Xiahou Shang, he pondered carefully, Zhang Liao's Cao army was wiped out, and no one was even released, but he, an important general, came back, which was inevitably a little too weird.

If that's all there is to it! Even if Zhang Liao is brave and unmatched, it can be regarded as his luck to fight out of the encirclement of the chaotic army with the courage of ten thousand people, but Zhang Liao didn't even have a war horse by his side, and he returned on foot, and his leg was seriously injured and he couldn't walk fast? Is this how he killed?

Could it be that the cavalry of the Yuan army were all rice buckets?

To tell the truth, although Zhang Liao and Xiahou Shang were the main and deputy servants, there was a gap in themselves, not to mention that Cao Cao once ordered Xiahou Shang to monitor Zhang Liao as a deputy, and later because of the battle in Fugu Road, Xiahou De's death, Yuan Shang made a hindrance, so that there was a record of big fights between the two.

Therefore, if someone else came back, Xiahou Shang would not have thought about it so much, but if it was replaced by Zhang Liao, Xiahou Shang would not be relentless.

"There must be a ghost in this...... Zhang Liao, eighty percent of them became Yuan Shang's spies! I'm back in camp! Xiahou Shang gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Xiahou Shang's side, a deputy general said: "General, although this matter is strange, but do not jump to conclusions, Zhang Liao since he returned to the ancestor from Lu Bu, has always been loyal, every war first, this battle of Xuzhou, as Guo Saijiu's deputy, has also been fighting bravely, never carried, now defeated and returned, the general can not be judged by assumption that it is a treachery, so it is not easy to explain on the side of the prime minister." ”

Xiahou Shang snorted and said: "Then you don't understand Zhang Liao, this person, when the ancestor was alive, he said that he had bad intentions and often had a heart of disobedience. Order us and other close clansmen to investigate it carefully! ”

Xiahou Shang said this big, what kind of disobedience, ill-intentioned, Cao Cao never said such a thing back then, but now that everyone is dead, he has relatives and nobles belonging to the Xiahou family, and everyone can't help but believe it when they hear it.

After a long time, an adjutant general cautiously asked: "General, what should we do about it now?" ”

Xiahou Shang thought about it. Said: "Arrest and imprison!" Let it be reported to the prime minister and ask him to decide. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.

The adjutant general hurriedly said: "General, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to act like this...... After all, we don't have any proof. ”

"So what do you say? Let this guy go wild in my camp? ”

The adjutant general thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you welcome the camp for the time being, and then send people to monitor it more to see what its purpose is?" If there is really an objection, it is not too late to do it. ”

Xiahou Shang felt that this method was a little too troublesome. According to his thoughts, it is best to directly ask Zhang Liao for the crime, and then quickly ask for the beheading, which is more worry-free than anything else. However, everyone did not agree with his method, and Zhang Liao's rebellion was indeed just his own subjective idea, and there was no real evidence at present. The adjutant general's remarks were indeed the safest and most reasonable approach at the moment, but in desperation, he had no choice but to agree.

***************************

At this moment. On the road to Xiahou Shang's camp, Zhang Liao was gritting his teeth, slowly moving forward step by step, his leg injury was simply bandaged by himself, although the bleeding was stopped, but the severe pain was still unbearable, how could it be that despite this, he was still persevering, struggling to walk forward.

Suddenly, there was a 'boom, boom' sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Zhang Liao looked up, but saw a cavalry team galloping towards him from the front, looking at its clothing and banner, there was no doubt that it was indeed his own soldiers and horses.

After a short time, I saw the cavalry coming in front of Zhang Liao, and the leading general headed by him turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand at Zhang Liao, and said respectfully: "General Zhang, under the order of General Xiahou, I have come to welcome General Zhang into the camp. ”

Zhang Liao slept in the open air all the way, and had to always be on guard against Yuan Jun's pursuers, like a bird with a frightened bow, and had a very hard time, at this moment he saw his own people, and when he heard this, his whole heart couldn't help but fall back into his chest.

At that moment, everyone no longer hesitated, asked Zhang Liao to get on the horse, and returned to Xiahou Shang's military village with him.

At this moment, Xiahou Shang is very different from the previous time, when he saw Zhang Liao, although he was full of disgust, but he was also full of disgust, but he also had a smile on his face, showing great concern, and personally stepped forward to welcome Zhang Liao off the horse, and said with concern: "General Zhang, the last general has a military order, and he does not dare to leave the camp without permission, so that the general has this calamity, he is really ashamed, and I hope the general can understand." ”

Zhang Liao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Boren, you are ashamed of me, I was supposed to be counted by Yuan Shang in Xuzhou, and the soldiers and horses were completely damaged, and only one person was left alone, which is really ...... Ay! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao was ashamed and shook his head in annoyance.

turned over and dismounted, and as soon as his legs and feet landed, he saw Zhang Liao frowning and gasping.

Xiahou Shang had been squinting and watching, and when he saw Zhang Liao like this, his mind changed and he said, "General Zhang, who caused the injury on your leg?" ”

Zhang Liao didn't want to say much about this matter, shook his head, and said, "It's Yuan Jun's Ma Chao......"

Ma Chao?

Xiahou Shang thought for a moment, and then sneered three times in his heart, and secretly said Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao, you really take me for a fool, Ma Chao is the number one fierce general in Xizhou, if you plant such a big heel under him, can he still let you live? It's a joke! Besides, you don't have any serious injuries all over your body, but you just hurt your legs, was this injury caused by Ma Chao, or did you make it yourself?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xiahou Shang did not show it on his face, and he said with concern: "General Zhang can still return on foot after suffering this injury, and his true husband is too!" Someone came, quickly ordered the medical officer to see General Zhang Liao's injuries, and then prepared wine and food, packed up the tent, and asked General Zhang to rest! ”

Zhang Liao said sorry, and then walked towards the camp with the support of the soldiers, while Xiahou Shang was holding his hands behind his back and looked coldly at the direction where he disappeared.

"Quickly send scouts to carefully probe within a radius of dozens of miles to see what the movements of Yuan Jun are and whether there have been any changes in the recent time."

"No!"

**********************

Xiahou Shang welcomed Zhang Liao into the camp, and Yuan Shang was also making close planning.

Guo Jia, the collapse of Zhang Liao, the retreat of Eastern Wu has completely exposed the land of Xuzhou in the eyes of Yuan Jun, although there are still cities that have not been included in the hands of Yuan Shang, but there is no obstacle in the overall situation, the gains and losses of a city and a pool no longer need Yuan Shang's arrangement, but full authority to hand over to Zhang He, Zhuo Qi arranged and dispatched the generals of the Yuan army to take the entire territory of Xuzhou, and sent Xiao Ji to temporarily lead the affairs of Xuzhou.

Yuan Shang, on the other hand, began to take the next step against Xiahou Shang and Zhang Liao.

This time, Yuan Shang sent Sun Qing and Wang to be two generals, each leading a soldier and horse, and began to slowly press the realm into Xiahou Shang's exploration range, but he was not in a hurry to attack his camp, but the southeast, northwest, northwest and southeast swayed left and right, and he didn't attack or attack, it was just a blind swaying on the left, left and right, which really made people smack.

The news was transmitted back to Xiahou Shang, which immediately made Xiahou Shang suspicious, Yuan Jun prepared troops and horses, sneakily at the border, and did not attack, what kind of routine is this? What's the trick?

If it were the original, Xiahou Shang would definitely not be able to understand Yuan Shang's thoughts, but this time, he was preconceived and the supervisor was in charge, thinking of Zhang Liao's strange return, and suddenly an idea was deeply implanted in his mind.

Yuan Jun was not in a hurry to attack, was he waiting for Zhang Liao's signal? Isn't this traitor going to be an internal response in our army and do that pickled thing?

Together, the ideas immediately take root and never linger again.

So, Xiahou Shang hurriedly found the deputy general and discussed this time with him.

After hearing Xiahou Shang's story, the deputy general was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Whether this matter is true or not, it must be guarded against, if Zhang Liao is really an internal response, then Yuan Jun must be waiting for the opportunity, let's strengthen our vigilance first, and then see what kind of strategy Yuan Shang has, and then it's not too late to make a conclusion!"
