"General, two bodies found!" Hundreds of Jizhou soldiers in the backyard carefully searched for the traces of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, Gongsun Zhan was standing by the lotus pond anxiously waiting for the return, a Jizhou soldier ran in front of him, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down and said: "The corpses were found on the side of the road leading to the front yard, both bodies were swords in the chest, and there were bump marks on the back of the head, thinking that King Hongnong had already come out of the backyard!" ”

As soon as the soldier reported to Gongsun Chan that he had found two corpses on the side of the road, another soldier ran up to Gongsun Chan, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "General Qiyu, three corpses were found in the flowers on the opposite side of the pond, two of which have been stripped of their clothes and armor......

Hearing that two corpses had been stripped of their clothes and armor, Gongsun Chan was stunned for a moment, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted to the two personal soldiers standing behind him: "You two go and inform the defenders in the city, order the city gates to be closed everywhere, and from today onwards, anyone who goes out of the city must be carefully checked." King Hongnong has just left, it is impossible to escape from Yuyang, the whole city is searching, whether they are dead or alive, they must be found! ”

"No!" The two soldiers responded with fists and ran towards the front yard quickly.

Looking at the two pro-soldiers who were running quickly to the front yard, Gongsun Chan clenched his fists, and his face was already iron-blue. He knew very well that once Liu Wei escaped from Yuyang, he would not only lose the only opportunity to command the princes of the world, but also might invite the princes of the world to crusade together. The small Jizhou is not as many elite soldiers as Dong Zhuo occupies Luoyang, and Gongsun Zhan has no confidence to rely on Jizhou to withstand the world's common attack!

Gongsun Zhan ordered the whole city to be searched, and Liu Wei and Guan Qing ran along the alleys in the city all the way to the north of the city at this time.

Hedong is in the southwest of Yuyang, if ordinary people want to escape from Yuyang and return to Hedong, they will definitely choose the city gate in the southwest.

But after Liu Wei left the former general's mansion, he didn't choose to go to the southwest of Yuyang City, but pulled Guan Qing, walked through the streets and alleys, and jumped all the way to the north gate of the city.

Sure enough, as Liu Wei guessed, the two fled from the former general's mansion, and the city soon became noisy, with groups of Jizhou troops holding torches running back and forth on the streets, and from time to time some officers and soldiers would kick open the doors of the houses along the street, enter the houses to search, and take the opportunity to loot some people's property.

However, most of the Jizhou troops searching in the city are concentrated in the south of Yuyang City, and there are few groups of Jizhou troops near the north gate.

Squatting in an alley near the north gate, seeing a team of Jizhou troops running through the street, Liu Wei beckoned to Guan Qing behind him, and quickly jumped out of the alley and into another alley closer to the city gate.

"Before dawn, the city gate is already closed, if it is early tomorrow morning, although the city gate will be opened, but the inventory out of the city will definitely be much stricter!" Squatting in the alley, looking at the closed city gate and the Jizhou army near the city gate, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to Guan Qing on the side: "If you can't leave tonight, I'm afraid it's not easy to get out of the city again!" ”

"What are your highness's plans?" Knowing that what Liu Biao was talking about was the biggest dilemma they were facing at the moment, Guan Qing turned his head to look at Liu Biao and whispered to him.

"Looking at the situation in the city, Gongsun Chan must have ordered the whole city to search!" Looking at the group of Jizhou soldiers standing by the city gate, Liu Wei whispered to Guan Qing: "The dead bodies killed by the two of us are not well hidden, I am afraid that they have been searched at this time." As long as he saw the corpse, Gongsun Chan would definitely know that the two of us were wearing the clothes and armor of the Jizhou Army, and it was only the two of us, and it would not be easy to get through the tricks and deceive the city gate. ”

Looking at Liu Wei, whose brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, Guan Qing's face showed a touch of confusion.

After a long time, Liu Wei suddenly reached out and patted Guan Qing's back gently, and asked her in a low voice, "If this king wants to leave from the city wall, how feasible do you think?" ”

"The city wall is full of Jizhou defenders......" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Guan Qing looked at him with a confused face and said to him: "I'm afraid ......"

"The more people there are, the more opportunities we have!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to finish speaking, Liu Wei beckoned to her and walked out of the alley.

Seeing Liu Wei walking out of the alley, Guan Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally walked out of the alley with him.

"Who?" As soon as the two of them approached the city gate, several Jizhou soldiers guarding near the city gate came up to meet them, and one of them raised his hand to make a blocking gesture towards the two of them, and asked them, "Why are you here late at night?" ”

"The former general has an order!" Seeing several Jizhou soldiers stopped in front of him, Liu Wei shouted to them: "The troops guarding the city must strictly guard the city gates, and don't let anyone out of the city!" ”

A group of people had come to convey Gongsun Zhan's order before, Liu Wei suddenly shouted out such a sentence again, and the Jizhou soldiers who stopped in front of him and Guan Qing were stunned for a moment, and the Jizhou soldiers who stretched out their hands to block the way of the two asked Liu Wei with a puzzled face: "Someone has just come to convey the order of the former general, how can the two brothers ......?" ”

"The stakes are high!" Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand and said coldly to the Jizhou soldiers: "The former general was worried that the army would lose, so he specially ordered to convey the military order many times, so as not to slack off the army!" ”

As soon as he said this, the soldiers suddenly suddenly clenched their fists and said to him in unison: "We will obey the orders of the former general!" ”

"The two of us still have to go to the city to announce the military order of the former general!" Arching his hand to these soldiers, Liu Wei led Guan Qing to walk quickly towards the stairs leading to the top of the city.

Looking at the backs of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, the Jizhou soldier who had stopped the two just now whispered to his companions behind him, "Brothers, can you see what is wrong with these two?" ”

"If there is anything unusual, you will not dare to climb the city wall." As soon as the Jizhou soldier's words fell, another soldier replied: "The city is full of brothers who defend the city, if I were the king of Hongnong, I would never dare to take such a risk." ”

"Yes!" Several Jizhou soldiers listened to this analysis, nodded one by one, and returned to the city gate.

Leading Guan Qing, just as he was about to climb to the top of the city, two Jizhou soldiers who were on duty on the city wall blocked the staircase and asked the two, "Who are you waiting for?" Why climb the city walls? ”

"On the orders of the former general, order all armies to strictly defend the city!" Standing on the stairs, Liu Wei raised his head slightly, looked at the two Jizhou soldiers who blocked the way, and said to them: "I hope that the two of you will go to the general defending the city, and the two of us will personally convey the order to the general who is defending the city!" ”

"The general was ordered to patrol the southwest city wall before!" The two Jizhou soldiers who were blocking the stairs heard Liu Wei say that they were looking for the city defenders, and one of them said to him in a loud voice: "Please go to the southwest city wall to give orders!" ”

"There are already people in the southwest, and the two of us are responsible for the defense of the city in the north!" Liu Wei pressed the sword in one hand, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he raised his head and said to the two Jizhou soldiers blocking the stairs: "Since the general guarding the city is not here, the two of us can wait here!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and sat on the stairs with a puffed ass, with his back to the two Jizhou soldiers, and did not say anything more.

Guan Qing on the side saw Liu Wei like this, and also sat side by side with him.

On weekdays, the people who convey Gongsun Zhan's orders are all the personal soldiers around Gongsun Zhan. Because these pro-soldiers are closest to Gongsun Zhan, even some Jizhou generals are afraid of them.

Liu Wei dared to sit on the stairs and wait for the city defenders, and the two Jizhou soldiers who stopped on the stairs were already much less suspicious of his identity.

Hearing Liu Bian's tone with a little annoyance, the two Jizhou soldiers glanced at each other, and the person who had just spoken to Liu Bian showed a flattering smile, changed his friendly tone, and said to the two: "Two brothers, someone has already come to convey the order of the former general before, and we are afraid that we will lose King Hongnong, so we are a little more vigilant." If there is any offense in the words, the two brothers are not to blame. Not only do you have to wait for the general, it's really unbearable to sit here, but also ask the two brothers to go up to the city wall to rest for a while, the general will probably come later......"

Sitting on the ladder, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced at the two Jizhou soldiers, pretending to be a little annoyed, paused for a moment, then nodded, and said to the two people: "It's okay, if the two of us don't pass on the military order, we can't afford to be guilty, so we will bother!" ”

"Might as well be! Might as well! Liu Wei agreed to go to the city wall to rest, and the faces of the two Jizhou soldiers who had just stopped him and Guan Qing were suddenly full of flattering smiles, and they said in unison, one of them stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said to Liu Wei and Guan Qing: "Two brothers, please go to the city wall!" ”

followed the two Jizhou soldiers to the city wall, and Liu Wei found that most of the Jizhou defenders on the city wall were sleeping with weapons.

Looking at the sleeping defenders, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly.

Seeing Liu Wei frowning, one of the two soldiers who led him and Guan Qing to the city wall hurriedly accompanied him and said with a smile: "There are no enemy troops outside the city, and the brothers have been guarding all day, and they are already tired. Knowing that King Hongnong had escaped, the head of the city did not dare to slack off, and in addition to the two of us, there were still some brothers on duty at night, so it was impossible for King Hongnong to escape from under our noses. ”

"That's right!" Liu Wei nodded, and echoed in his voice: "There are so many brothers in the city, even if King Hongnong has a hundred courages, I am afraid that he will not dare to be so big and think of leaving from here!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, the two Jizhou soldiers who led him and Guan Qing to the city wall hurriedly accompanied Xiao Ying.

Guan Qing was full of doubts about the rapid change in the attitude of these two people, but Liu Wei didn't seem to care at all.

Walking along the city wall for a while, Liu Wei walked to the edge of a battlement, held the battlement with one hand and looked out of the city, and said to the two Jizhou soldiers who accompanied him: "On weekdays, I serve beside the former general, my two brothers have not yet climbed the city, but today I have the blessing of the two brothers......

"Brother is a former general, how can he be disdainful of climbing to the top of the city?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, a Jizhou soldier standing behind him said with a smile: "Two brothers, wait a minute, I'll go and pour some water for you." ”

"Thank you!" Turning back and nodding to the Jizhou soldiers who were speaking, Liu Wei turned his gaze to the outside of the city again.

Not far outside the city, a wide moat reflected the sparkling waves in the moonlight, and at the foot of the city walls, there was an empty field with no grass.

If it weren't for the gods sneaking down the city wall unknowingly, as long as the defenders on the city found that someone was going down to the city, I am afraid that Liu Wei and Guan Qing would be shot into two hedgehogs by the defenders' arrows before they ran to the moat.
