Chapter 199 Distinguish the Truth from the False
Thinking that Zhang Cheng was indeed just a businessman, Cheng Ran's body and mind couldn't help but relax and said: "Okay, even if Brother Zhang has a request, I should satisfy you, so I will follow you to open the West City Gate now." ”
"Good." Seeing that Cheng Ran agreed, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Three years ago, Zhang Chengcheng settled in Yinguan City with money. On the surface, he is just a rich businessman, but in fact, his money comes from the Tianyan Organization, and he was also sent by Lu Fei to Yanmen County, in order to be able to find out some useful information for the use of the general.
This time, he got a report from the Black Eagle and learned that Zhang Chaoyi led the army to the Yin Pavilion and successfully defeated the Hun army, and the problem of solving the Huns was probably in front of him.
Zhang Cheng, who felt that his mission was to be completed, also received an order from Zhang Chao himself, that is, to find a way to open the gate of Tuoketo from the inside to facilitate the entry of the army.
It's not an easy task, it's a businessman, or it's hard to do. But it was Zhang Chao's personal order, and Zhang Cheng had to complete it no matter what. He will not forget that when he almost starved to death on the side of the road, it was Zhang Chao who saved him, let him enter the Zhang family's army, and gave him his current name, hoping that he would succeed in his work. Unfortunately, he didn't have much physical fitness, and he was eventually eliminated under high-intensity training.
still remembers the day he was eliminated, he cried very sadly. I felt that I was very useless and couldn't do anything for Zhang Chao. Lu Fei appeared, absorbed him into the Tianyan organization, and after a period of training, he was sent to Yanmen.
Painstaking training and teaching is for the sake of the present day. Zhang Cheng decided to take a risk after receiving Zhang Chao's handwritten letter, so he rushed over with his perennial relationship with Cheng Ran.
The smart Zhang Cheng did not directly reveal his identity, he was worried that Cheng Ran would refuse to obey after he knew about it, so he made up this set, believing that in this way, the other party would relax his vigilance, and his task might be completed.
Now seeing that Cheng Ran really didn't have any vigilance, he really thought that he was just doing business, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and ordered his assassins to move the knife down, at least walking outside so that people could not see that they were threatening Cheng Ran.
...... ......
Two hours ago.
In the dense forest eight miles outside the eastern gate of Tuoketuo, Lu Bu and Dian Wei rushed here with 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry.
Scouts were sent from the front to report that the four gates of Tuoketuo City were closed, and the lights on the city tower were bright, which was a state of strict defense.
Listening to the scout's report, Lu Bu and Dian Wei both had bitter faces. If the other party is prepared, then it is impossible to sneak attack, and if it is just a strong attack, it is really not enough to be afraid of this, who knows how many Hun troops are still in the city?
The report on the situation in the city made the two fierce generals fall into confusion.
Especially Lu Bu among them, he will not forget what Zhang Chao said in his ear when he left Yin Pavilion City, "Okay, you have become a god-killing general, and you look more majestic than me." Okay, just fight this battle and let me see if you're really a general. ”
Although when he said these words, Zhang Chao was full of smiles. can be heard in Lu Bu's ears, how to listen to it makes people's hearts chill.
Because of his martial bravery, he was named the general of the god killing by the Huns, but it seems that some people still think that this reputation is not loud enough, and they add a big word to it. In this way, the name of the general is more refreshing to hear. But the problem also comes, this is actually on the same level as the lord.
Meritorious mastery has always been the biggest trouble for courtiers, but now unfortunately Lu Bu has taken advantage of it. Now that he is losing the battle again, it is inevitable that someone will talk about this, and if this is the case, then he can't explain it.
Maybe he can successfully take Tuoketuo and hit the Hun army hard, and he can be regarded as a meritorious service, but if he doesn't take the city truthfully, it will be a combination of crimes, and I really don't know what the result will be.
Lu Bu was shocked by Zhang Chao's words, and Dian Wei's face on the side was also not much better.
As the county guard of Yanmen, this time there was a big problem because of negligence in prevention, which caused the people to suffer, and this matter has a lot to do with him. Now he is also guilty, if he can't make a contribution, he will also return to Zhang Chao's side without shame.
The two of them, who have their own hardships and are eager to make meritorious contributions, have to face the guarded Jiancheng at this time, and for a while the two really don't know what to do.
"Old Lu, if it doesn't work, let's attack. I still have 3,000 infantry under my command, and with them, if I take the lead in driving the captain to death, I may have some chances. "Dian Wei really has no choice, so he thought of a strong attack.
"No, absolutely not." After hearing this, Lu Bu shook his head again and again and said, "With this strength of ours, it is definitely not possible to attack by force." We don't even know how many Hun troops there are in the city, if there are a lot of people, if they really rush out, I'm afraid that we don't want to talk about attacking the city, whether we can win or not has to say two, in the lord to give these soldiers to fight out, that is the biggest sin. ”
Lu Bu didn't support it, and his answer also made Dian Wei bow his head. Yes, the theory of a strong attack is just a fluke idea, in case there is still a Hun army in the city of Tuoketuo, then this battle is not sent to the door for others to slaughter? If you don't win the battle, and you lose the battle, then you really have no face to face the lord.
The two are not afraid of death when they fight, and the fierce generals with high martial arts can't think of ideas, so they lower their heads, far from usual, they raise their heads high wherever they go, and they look like they are not afraid of the sky and the earth.
When the two generals were still worried about how to take Tuoketuo City next, and how to complete Zhang Chao's order, a patrol soldier suddenly came to report, saying that he had caught a spy, who was sneaking around in the forest for a while, and was surrounded and taken by them.
Hearing that there was a spy, the two said in unison: "Bring it over and ask." ”
Both Lu Bu and Dian Wei wanted to know the situation in Tuoketo City, and this spy might be able to tell him something.
Soon, the spy was brought to the two of them, but to everyone's surprise, after seeing Lu Bu and Dian Wei, the spy was not afraid, but said loudly: "Dare to ask if it is General Lu and General Dian." ”
The spy was so calm that Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Oh, I can't see it, you are still a person with courage and insight." That is, if you know us, you should know our means, so that you can say whatever you know, and maybe it will give you a good time later. ”
The spy who was questioned by Lu Bu was indeed not in a hurry, but said: "General Lu, I have something in my arms, I can order your sergeant to take it out and take a look." ”
The sturdy spy who was tied up even said that he had something in his arms, which caused Lu Bu to laugh and say, "What? Want to bribe me? Tell you, then you're looking for the wrong person. ”
But after all, Lu Bu still ordered the sergeant to reach into the spies' arms, and immediately a long strip of black wood that looked like an arrow was taken out.
"What is this? Is it worth it? In the dark, he just saw a long piece of wood, and Lu Bu said with a puzzled expression. Dian Wei on the side, after seeing this thing, couldn't help but take a step forward and asked: "This is an object that proves the identity of the Tianyan member, if it is really this thing, there should be a word on it." ”
As he spoke, Dian Wei took the wooden stick in his hand, and then a big character appeared in front of him.
"Sure enough." Dian Wei nodded after seeing it, and then looked at the spy and said, "So, you are your own person?" ”
"Yes, I am the second under the command of Lord Zhang Cheng, a member of Tianyan, and I came here this time to report the situation in the city to the two generals." The spy didn't have the slightest expression of surprise when he saw that Dian Wei knew the goods. As a person who has been with Zhang Chao for many years, if he can't even recognize such a thing, it is really a fool.
Lu Bu also remembered at this time, he had seen such a thing before, but he forgot about it because he was in a hurry, and now he saw the spy take out the object to prove his identity, and immediately said happily: "It turned out to be his own person, so quickly untied." ”
"Wait." Dian Wei did stop him. "If you don't see this thing, it must be a member of the Sky Eye, what if he snatched it and deceived us?"
As soon as Dian Wei said, Lu Bu's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded and said: "It makes sense, come, you No. 2 can talk about it, how can you prove that your things were not robbed." ”
Spy No. 2 thought that he would be able to prove his identity by taking out this item, after all, Zhang Cheng said this when he gave it to him. I can't imagine that the two generals will be confirmed, so he doesn't know what to say.
The spy stopped talking, and Dian Wei sneered: "It seems that you are really a liar sent by the other party." In this way, our true members of the Celestial Eye have been killed by you. ”
"No, no, I'm really a member of Tianyan, but I have a low status and am under the command of Lord Zhang Cheng. My usual code name is number two. Seeing that Wei Feidan didn't believe in himself, the spy also looked like he was an enemy spy, so he quickly shook his head and denied it.
"You say yes, what's the proof?" Dian Wei did not let go of his mouth and said. After all, if it is your own person, of course everything is easy to say, but if it is a liar brought by the other party, then if you believe it, you will suffer a big loss.
Under Dian Wei's angry gaze, Agent No. 2 recalled what he knew and spoke. "Every official member of Tianyan is a subordinate, and for the sake of secrecy, it is usually called by a code name. For example, my family Zhang Cheng, he has three henchmen, and I am the No. 2 secret agent. It's just that my identity is still very humble, and I don't know a lot of things. In line with the internal rules of Tianyan, you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, what I know is really limited. ”
