Originally, to do things to contain Cao Jun, he only needed to unilaterally calculate Zhang Liao.

In order to establish a relationship with Tai Shi Ci, Long Xiang specially adopted Lu Su's combination plan.

Since Tai Shi Ci settled in Liyang last year, Long Xiang has written several times to make friends with him, but Tai Shi Ci is like a stone girl who has no desires and no desires, and her enthusiasm for Long Xiang is extremely cold, let alone make an appointment to meet and discuss in detail.

Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were both admired by Suo Longxiang, but it was not the same difficulty to help Liu Bei dig it up.

Cao Cao did not have Liu Bei's benevolence, and he would investigate his family members for the generals who surrendered to the enemy.

Zhang Liao was in charge of Shouchun at this time, and he and his subordinates were all in Xudu, if they really defected to other forces at will, it meant that their family members would be affected.

Regardless of how loyal Zhang Liao is to Cao Cao, it is very difficult to shake the hostage of his family alone.

Tai Shici's situation is different, he was ordered to guard the sea dusk soon after he joined Sun Ce, his wife and children and family members follow him all the year round, and he also took his family with him as the lieutenant of Liyang, and he had one less resistance than Zhang Liao.

As for his loyalty to the Sun family, Tai Shi Ci is not a diehard loyalist.

In history, Sun Ce was idle in the sea dusk, and finally died of depression and anger, although the world moved a position, but the friendship with the new lord Sun Quan is very shallow.

Long Xiang thought that if he wielded his hoe well, he might be able to win a general for Liu Bei.

Especially when Liu Bei let himself replace Sun Quan, the idea in Long Xiang's heart became stronger and stronger.

This time, Tai Shi Ci planned to send troops, he thought that there would be no rear army at all, it didn't matter if he could break out and defeat Zhang Liao, once he was defeated, he would be reprimanded by Sun Quan, and at that time, the dumb people would not be able to say that they would suffer from Coptis chinensis, and there would inevitably be a rift between the monarchs and ministers.

Long Xiang planned to give a helping hand to Tai Shici when he was in distress.

The effect is like a lovelorn goddess in distress, and the rescuer is a high-quality indigenous who pursues himself, even if he can't make a promise on the spot, he will inevitably leave an excellent impression.

Although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of people's danger, Long Xiang will not stick to the subtleties.

To put it mildly, Tai Shici followed Sun Quan like a thief, neither able to glorify the lintel nor be loyal to the country;

To put it mildly, Tai Shici has no foundation in Jiangdong, and I believe that it is difficult to enter the inner circle, and it is impossible to be reused for the rest of his life, and he can only end up depressed.

If Long Xiang can win Tai Shici, he can use Hua Tuo to help him live for a few more years, so that he will not be dead at the age of forty.

With the idea of being a 'flower messenger', Long Xiang not only let the Tiger Guard Battalion relax, but also notified the non-city defense army in Hefei that there might be a combat mission in the near future, and asked all troops and horses to be on standby.

Tai Shi Ci deliberately bypassed Hefei, where did he know that there were eyes staring at him, and every move was in Cao Xing's eyes.

Walking to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain, Tai Shici suddenly raised his hand to stop the horse, and the part behind him stopped.

The deputy general Zhao Fan was at the end of the team, and when he saw that the army suddenly stopped, he rushed to the front to ask Tai Shici about it.

Zhao Fan was about to speak, but Tai Shici made a boo gesture and twisted his neck strangely.

"Bo Chang, this is the direction to Tianzhu Mountain? I faintly heard a shout in the valley ahead, "Tai Shi Ci smelled the murderous aura in the wind, and he didn't want to move forward in order to be safe."

Zhao Fan bowed slightly: "According to the situation that I found before leaving, I can see the strange mountains like heavenly pillars from here when I go around the valley for dozens of miles, but why didn't I hear the sound?" ”

Tai Shi Ci immediately closed his eyes and used his ears to feel the subtle sound.

After a while, Tai Shici suddenly opened his eyes, pointed ahead and said, "I heard some horses' hooves, maybe Mei Cheng came to pick us up, and ordered the whole army to line up first." ”

"Yui." Zhao Fan turned around and left.

Da da da.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and sure enough, it was a scattered cavalry, and the leader was the thief leader Mei Cheng, who saw a formation of soldiers outside the valley, and almost fell off his horse in fright.

When he found the word 'Taishi' on the flag, Mei Cheng suddenly rejoiced as if he had eaten sugar.

"Haha, it's General Taishi, our reinforcements have arrived."

"This guy."

Tai Shi Ci's eyesight and hearing are very good, he saw Mei Cheng dancing with his hands, and he didn't know how to face it for a while, and said in his heart, aren't you going to get a name? Why does it look so embarrassing?

Just when Tai Shici was pondering, there were chasing soldiers behind Mei Cheng, and it was Zhang Liao who destroyed his cottage.

Mei Cheng had heard of the Battle of Shentingling, and he had a backer like Tai Shici, so he made a very unwise decision at that time, that is, he did not choose to continue to flee for his life, but stopped to show his might to Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao, General Taishi came to save me, you don't want to die, so you let my wife and children go young."

"Tai Shi Ci? I'm calling Tai Shici, as for your family members who left on the mountain."

The key words were only halfway through, and Zhang Liao suddenly raised his sword and took Mei Cheng directly.

This move directly frightened Mei Cheng, and said in his heart, how can there be such a brute who does not talk about martial arts? When he reacted to the horse and turned around, Zhang Liao was only one horse away from him, and it was too late to give instructions to the mount if he wanted to escape.

"I, Zhang Liao, like to do good deeds, so naturally I want to send you to reunite with your family."

When Mei Cheng heard the answer, he only felt a cold wind in the back of his neck, and then watched his head leave his body.

beheaded Mei Cheng in front of Tai Shici, Zhang Liao was even more sure that the two had already colluded, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to save people, and the account of Shaobi's destruction of the field was also recorded on the other party.

Zhang Liao saw that Tai Shici did not move in the array, so he asked his soldiers to pick up the head on the ground, and then held a knife in one hand and a head in the other, urging the horse to slowly move towards the enemy formation.

Cao's army chased out of the valley one after another, and it was easy to suffer losses if he did not line up in battle, and Zhang Liao wanted to hold off Tai Shici at this time and leave time for his soldiers to form a formation.

"General, it seems to be Zhang Liao, no wonder Mei Cheng wants to beg to surrender, it turns out that he has a mortal enmity with Cao Jun."

"Mei Cheng once killed and assassinated Shi Yanxiang, how could Cao Cao's people tolerate him?"

"Now that Mei Cheng has been beheaded, what should we do now? Is it a retreat or a sortie? ”

"Let's take a look first, Zhang Liao appeared here, it means that Shouchun's troops are empty, let's drag this person here to buy time for the lord's sneak attack on Shouchun."

"Oh, this guy actually came over"

"You restrain the soldiers on your behalf and let me meet this person, is it as rumored."

"Hmm."

During the dialogue between Tai Shici and Zhao Fan, Zhang Liao urged the horse to slowly come to the front of the formation.

I saw that Mei Cheng's head was held high, and then Zhang Liao's mocking voice came: "Pity this thief before he died, Tai Shici turned out to be a cold-blooded person, and when he saw his companion killed, he didn't blink his eyes." ”

"Hmph, Zhang Liao, you don't have to provoke me, Tai Shi Ci is bright and fair, how can he become a companion with the thief?"

"Above board? Haha"

Zhang Liao thought of the burned rice field, and his laughter was full of anger, he shook his head and continued to tease: "What a bright and upright Tai Shici, who secretly communicated with Mei Cheng to destroy my rice field, and actually made a lot of nonsense in front of the battle, which is really funny." ”

Tai Shici was stunned when he heard this, and said that Zhang Liao's rice field was destroyed? Is this Mei Cheng learning Chen Lan? It's a pity that I can't get out like Chen Lan.
