Zhang Liao looked at the opponent's formation to get out of the way, and dozens of generals rode out in clusters. In the middle is Cao Zhi, the Marquis of Linjiang, and on the left is his subordinate strategist Yang Xiu, these two of them themselves have met several times in Xudu in the past. And the person on the right is the modified Lu Rong, as soon as he saw this girl, Zhang Liao couldn't help but think of the time when Xiapi City was broken decades ago, and Wen Hou entrusted him with his family. Later, Mink Chan died in vain, leaving only this bloodline, and he remembered the friendship of the lord and the minister back then, and cared for him in every way, treating it as his own. Although sometimes she also noticed a lot of clues, she was only hindered by the spirit of waiting in the sky and repeatedly tolerating, but she didn't want her to cause such a catastrophe. Even his brother for many years, Zang Ba and his only son Zhang Hu are involved. Looking back on the past 20 years, he has been deeply favored by the Cao family, how can he betray again? And the war together, the north is in chaos, and it is rare to have a stable and peaceful world, but is it disrupted like this?

Zhang Liao slapped his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Where is the Marquis of Linjiang?" There will be something to be said at the end. ”

Cao Zhi saw Zhang Liao on the opposite side, although his sideburns were slightly frosty and his beard was white, he was still majestic, just like his father's poem "Although the turtle is long, there is still a time." Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. Hearing Zhang Liao's invitation, he also urged him to step forward and bowed: "What advice does the old general have?" ”

"Old general?" When Zhang Liao heard this title, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke the gray beard under his face, he was really old, and he didn't want to see the killing again, as long as Cao Zhi could retreat back to Jizhou, he was willing to let him go, after all, they were all the blood of the first emperor, why bother to meet each other and kill them all. What's more, this time the army was instigated by Lu Rong, and he also had to bear the responsibility, Zhang Liao also owed a debt and said: "Your Majesty has a clear edict and ordered the prince and the marquis to go north into Youzhou, why would he lead the army and horses south?" ”

Cao Zhi smiled indifferently: "Benhou knows that Cao Ziwen's army has captured Huguan, and he is afraid that Cao Xiu will lose the governor, so he will increase his troops to help." ”

"In that case." Zhang Liao said: "The last general has led troops to Guangping to reinforce the governor of Cao, so he asked the prince to collect his troops and return to Jizhou City and act in accordance with His Majesty's edict." ”

What Cao Zhi said was just that he didn't want to find out that he was making trouble, but how could a discerning person not know his true intentions? As a person with great achievements in war, how could Zhang Liao, who has experienced a hundred battles, not know? Cao Zhi was slightly surprised and said, "The general is willing to let Ben Hou go back?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "The prince is a royal noble, how to behave, the last general naturally can't ask, but the prince must remember that he is the blood of the first emperor, and everything must be the family and the country first." ”

Cao Zhi was silent for a moment, Zhang Liaohuwei didn't dare to offend everyone, and finally sighed and said: "If the general can really let Ben Hou leave, Ben Hou is willing to retreat and return to Jizhou." ”

"Okay." Zhang Liao turned his eyes to look at Lu Rong and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, do you come by yourself, or do you want me to do it myself." ”

Lu Rong was brought up by Zhang Liao since he was a child, although he was well cared for, but after all, he was as majestic as his father, and when he saw the person who fought with Zhu Chen, it was Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo who begged Zhang Liao to recruit from Tianshui, and Jiang Boyo knew that something was wrong. Now that he was called by Zhang Liao, he was even more uneasy in his heart, so he had to step forward and bow: "Is the general okay?" ”

"Hmph." made such a big mistake, even if Zhang Liao could ignore the life of the official, he might not be able to save it, so he had to be detained under his own account first, even if His Majesty did not forgive, he could save her life. Zhang Liao said coldly: "I haven't been angry with you yet, come here." ”

Cao Zhi naturally couldn't see that the two were singing that play, but Yang Xiu suddenly shouted: "Okay, you Lu Rong, you deceived me so hard, come here, take him down." Yang Xiunai was the number two person in Cao Zhi's army, and as soon as he gave the order, dozens of sergeants rushed out and surrounded Lu Rong in the center. Not to be outdone, the generals around Lu Rong drew their swords one after another to guard in front of him.

Lu Rong knew that Yang Xiu suspected that he was colluding with Zhang Liao, tricked Cao Zhi into sending troops, and lured them here, but now he was unwilling to return to Zhang Liao's side, waved his hand and signaled the general to put down his blade, and said to Yang Xiu: "Since the adults are unwilling, Lu Mou is also trying to disturb for a few more days." It's just General Zhang, how to explain? ”

Yang Xiu stepped forward and said loudly: "General Zhang, this person is a gentleman and a distinguished guest, I hope the general will not be embarrassed." Cao Zhi also suddenly understood Yang Xiu's intentions at this time, and looked at Lu Rong coldly, since he had been introduced into the urn by him and Zhang Liao, he had no choice but to capture him, and he must not be released so easily.

Zhang Liao didn't know what Yang Xiu and the others were thinking on the other side, and said that it was Lu Rang who was singing a double reed with him, and he was angry in his heart, and said: "If the prince and the marquis insist on refusing to keep this person, then the general will have to leave the prince and the marquis together." ”

"Presumptuous." Zhu Chen couldn't hold back after the army, jumped out of the horse, and shouted: "Dare to be so rude to the Hou Ye." Zhang Liaowei has heard of it for a long time, why not fight and try the big axe in a certain hand? ”

Zhang Liao didn't pay attention to this reckless man, and only said to Cao Zhi: "If the prince wants to delay time and wait for the army to come to help, I am afraid that I will disappoint the prince." General Cao Zidan has led his troops and horses to intercept him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come in time. He glanced at Lu Rong again and said, "General Zhendong led Xuzhou Mu Zang Xuangao, who was sick and had been ordered to enter Beijing to recuperate. Qingxu military is all in charge of Cao Zidan, doesn't Hou Ye want to retreat? ”

After saying a few words, Cao Zhi's face was like ashes, and he looked at Lu Rong, Yang Xiu, and Mu Ran in a daze. When Lu Rong heard this, he also knew that his matter was not harmonious, but Zhang Liaonian had been friends for many years and did not want to kill them all, so he had to whisper and order Chen Sheng to be escorted up, and said to Cao Zhi: "The matter has come to this, and the prince can lead the army to return to the north in order to protect it." ”

Yang Xiu reprimanded angrily: "In today's situation, it is difficult to ride a tiger, what other way is there to protect it?" ”

Lu Rong smiled miserably and said: "Whether adults believe it or not, there is no intention of deceiving each other, they only hate that the plot is not secret, and it is broken by Zhang Wenyuan, so it is better to withdraw from the army to save their lives temporarily." He whispered again: "There is another plan in the future, or it can reverse the adversity, do you want to hear it?" ”

Yang Xiu looked at Cao Zhi, and when he saw that he nodded in agreement, he stepped forward immediately. Lu Rong waited for him to approach, whispered a few words in his ear, and finally said: "Whether this matter can be done or not, the power lies with the prince." He sighed again, looked at the southwest, and said in a low voice: "It's just that General Yue Cai can't be saved." ”

Yang Xiu pulled his horse back to Cao Zhi's side and whispered. Cao Zhi nodded, stepped forward a little more, and said loudly: "Mr. Lu will stay with the old general, and ask the general to get out of the way, and allow Benhou to retreat." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, the spear in his hand waved, and the sergeants moved out of the way. Cao Zhi hurriedly retreated with Yang and Zhu with their troops, only to hear Zhang Liao say in a loud voice: "May the prince obey the holy order, join forces with General Cao Zidan to go north, take Youzhou, and make up for the merits." Cao Zhi turned to Zhang Liao again, and then whipped away.
