Chang Diao's current status is much higher than before, and his subordinates have naturally gathered a large number of younger brothers to work for him, so they don't have to do it themselves like before.

And among all the people under him, the most talented is Lu Hong.

Lu Hong didn't even have a word, he was a pawn from the lowest level who relied on his own strength to make a living.

Because Chang Diao was lazy, he was able to become the real controller of school affairs, but he knew that he had no backer, and if he wanted to do this offending thing, he still had to hug Chang Diao's thighs tightly, so he obeyed Chang Diao's words, and the righteousness of the bottom also made him deeply feel the grace of Chang Diao's knowledge, as long as Chang Diao said a word, let him cut whoever he wanted.

When Chang Diao and Shen Tan's envoy met briefly before, all of them secretly observed from a distance, and did not inquire about what the two had discussed, Chang Diao made a gesture casually, Lu Hong immediately understood, and led everyone to chase in the direction of Chang'an.

Shen Tan's envoy didn't expect Chang Diao to be so lazy and useless, and in desperation, he could only go to Chang'an to find other dignitaries, and then talk about Chen Qun's deeds.

He walked all night, and his chest was pressed against his back when he was already hungry, so he could only take out the dry food he had brought with him, and the cold water melted slightly, and swallowed it with difficulty in the cold wind.

Thinking of Chang Diao's lazy appearance before, he couldn't help but scold:

"What the hell, this kind of person is also worthy of being a military advisor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a gloomy voice behind him:

"Hehe, yes, I don't think he's a military advisor."

The messenger turned around in astonishment, and saw a large, large, shirtless man standing behind him.

The big man was only one size smaller than Shen Tan, his whole body was muscular, his thick beard crawled all over his cheeks, and his smile was quite terrifying.

The messenger was taken aback, and quickly got up and wanted to run, but in an instant, a group of bandits dressed in rags and outcasts surrounded him, all of whom had knives and sticks in their hands, and were obviously the companions of the great man.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the envoy could only smile bitterly:

"I'm Shen Da, the envoy sent to Chang'an by Shangyong Taishou and Yuanxiang Hou Shen Yiju, I don't know how many heroes are there?"

The big man at the head smiled:

"I am Liu Xiongming of the Covered Car Mountain, I don't know if you have heard my name at your feet?"

Shen Da was stunned, then nodded and said:

"It turned out to be Immortal Liu, today, today I finally got to see the face of the Immortal!"

Liu Xiongming is a native of Jingzhao Lantian, when he was a teenager, he began to often go to the mountain to collect medicine, so he knows the terrain over there well, because the mountain is surrounded by clouds and fog, everyone is said to be the residence of the gods, Liu Xiongming learned from the successful cases of the ancestors, simply claimed to go up the mountain to find immortals, relying on the chaos of the world at the end of the Han Dynasty to gather thousands of soldiers, is a force of bandits with few achievements.

The area around Lantian is not too far from Shangyong, so Shenda has also heard of this person's name.

Liu Xiongming nodded proudly and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect the old man's cheap name to spread so far, fortunately.

I don't know why I'm here this time? Is there any old man who can help? ”

Shenda said busily:

"It's okay, I'll go to Chang'an to buy some leather goods, and I'll miss Lao Liu."

Liu Xiongming was still smiling before, but his face immediately changed at this moment:

"Don't tell the truth, do you?

What are you doing in the common carving? ”

Shen Tan's army is strictly disciplined, if there is betrayal, it will kill the whole family, Shen Da is Shen Tan's cronies, so he naturally does not dare to reveal half a sentence.

Liu Xiongming snorted, the previous kindness was completely gone, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Shen Daduo, he beckoned quickly, and several people flew forward left and right, grabbing Shen Da's arms fiercely.

"Take him back to the mountain and see if he says anything."

The bandits grinned:

"Yes, let him see the methods of our mountain!"

As they spoke, they gagged Shenda's mouth with rags and stuffed it into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Liu Xiongming put on a coat and dressed up as a medicine dealer, and the other bandits either pretended to be homeless or pretended to be servants, and in the blink of an eye, he had already completed his concealment, confident that no one would notice the flaws.

Just when he was proud and was about to take people back to the mountain, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and saw a neat group of cavalry running on the official road, and there were many soldiers moving in the distance.

What, what's going on?

Liu Xiongming has been robbing houses nearby, but he has a lieutenant arranged by Cao Cao, which can be regarded as Cao's army, and they are now pretending to be medicine merchants, so they don't know how to have so many cavalry to chase and kill him.

"Quick, come forward and ask, just say I'll wait...... Forget it, reveal your identity directly, and if they ask for a bribe, give it to them. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Xiongming was also really afraid of these "own people" in his heart, and he asked his soldiers to come forward to check and see if they could stop them from advancing in the name of his own people.

But unexpectedly, the first few cavalrymen did not blink their eyes, and directly urged the war horses to rush up, and quickly stepped over the bandits blocking the road!

"I am General Cao's Zhuge Qian! If you don't want to die, kneel down on both sides for me! ”

With a burst of shouting, the surrounding Cao army cavalry quickly contracted, Liu Xiongming's bandits subconsciously wanted to run, those knights did not hesitate to bend their bows, dense arrow rain fell one after another, Liu Xiongming's men fell in an instant, everyone kept screaming and wailing, even Liu Xiongming was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he quickly got out of the car and knelt aside.

This, this cavalry, this archery......

It was actually the main force of Cao Jun!

What did I do, why did the main cavalry of the Cao army come to arrest me?

Lu Hong's gloomy face finally had a smile, he bowed his hand to Zhuge Qian and thanked him, and then rushed forward with his guards, they kicked Liu Xiongming away, and Liu Xiongming remembered that there was still a person hiding in his car.

"This, listen to me, listen to me!"

"Explain?"

Lu Hong's face was full of hideousness, and he opened the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw Shen Da, who was tied up with five flowers, lying in it decently.

"Old thief, you fell into the conspiracy of the regular army, I see how you can deny it today!"

Liu Xiongming was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, several school officials had already excitedly tied him up, Zhuge Qian dismounted and walked up, holding a long sword against his chest:

"What are you doing here, are you Ma Chao's spies?"

"Horses? What is the horse super? ”

"Bastard!" Zhuge Qian slapped Liu Xiongming in the face, "Don't tell the truth, I'll slaughter your subordinates one by one!" ”

Saying that, Zhuge Qian really asked someone to do it, dragged one of his subordinates over in front of Liu Xiongming, and pierced his throat with a sword in the man's wail, Liu Xiongming was so frightened that he was like a sifting chaff, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Ma Chao sent someone to contact Liu Xiongming and make an appointment to start an incident, but Liu Xiongming was unwilling to wade into Ma Chao's troubled waters and refused.

But he was also really worried that Cao Cao would directly eliminate all the big and small warlords in the Guanzhong area after Cao Cao's false attack, so he asked his subordinates to keenly observe everything around him and tell him any news.

Cao Cao's military advisor Chang Diao was approaching the Great War, but he did not go to the front line to command the battle, but was drunk every day in Tongguan, for fear that others would not know that he was ugly, Liu Xiongming thought that there must be something strange about this matter.

He had been squatting nearby, and finally saw a person sneakily meeting Chang Diao, and the two only stayed for a while before immediately dispersed, and then the person went straight to the direction of Chang'an.

Liu Xiongming knew that there must be a ghost in this matter, so he hurriedly grabbed it, never thinking that he would be immediately attacked by the main force of the Wei army before he returned, and where his subordinates were the opponents of these elite cavalry, they could only be captured.

Lu Hong and Zhuge Qian's faces were hideous, the two looked at each other, Lu Hong sneered:

"Old thief, the trick of my military advisor in Ruzhong, ah, no, it's a clever plan!"

Zhuge Qian also smiled and said:

"Before, Chang Junshi said that there must be Ma Chao's spies in Tongguan, so he pretended to be like this, and led Er and others to enter the court.

Hey, knowing that you were cautious and refused to take the bait, the military advisor deliberately lured you out, but as soon as you left, the military advisor immediately called Brother Lu and others to come and intercept and kill, and a certain was stationed near the left, I see where you are running this time! ”

Lu Hong laughed:

"You are still not cautious enough, knowing that my military division is in charge of countless school affairs, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and he still dares to take the initiative to cause chaos near Tongguan.

Hmph, don't tell the truth quickly, but when! ”

Liu Xiongming was really frightened.

He had carefully observed Chang Diao for several days before, and felt that he really exuded a kind of market scoundrel and incapable temperament, but he didn't expect it to be pretended. I heard that everyone in Cao Junzhong scolded him for being incompetent, and they all said that he relied on Cao Ren's recommendation to barely get into an idle position, so he was quite contemptuous and despised, but he didn't expect him to have such a profound forbearance and calculation, and he could easily arrest himself.

"Spare your life, spare your life! Although I am a bandit, I am really not Ma Chao's spy! Ma Chao asked me to rebel before, but I refused, everyone can testify to this matter, and they can all testify! ”

The little life was in the hands of others, Liu Xiongming hurriedly begged for mercy, Lu Hong's face changed, and he sneered:

"What, you're saying that Chang Junshi is wrong to blame you?"

At this time, Shenda was also untied and brought to Liu Xiongming's side, and when he saw Liu Xiongming kneeling in front of Lu Hong, he couldn't stop crying and begging for mercy, and couldn't help but say loudly:

"Don't listen to his nonsense! He said before that he was a close general under General Ma, and he deliberately sneaked into this place to prepare to cooperate with Ma Chao to make trouble, I can hear it clearly, the general don't let him go! ”

Liu Xiongming: ......

No, how can you just frame someone casually! I didn't do anything!

How could Zhuge Qian and Lu Hong let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the two glanced at each other, and Zhuge Qian said slowly:

"Brother Lu, General Cao and Chang Junshi are still waiting for me to return to life, you see......"

Lu Hong sneered:

"Don't worry, if this thief refuses to tell the truth, I will make him regret being a man!"
