This made Cao Ren and Cao Hong even more scruples, Xu Chu was ambushed before he arrived at Xinye, isn't Xinye now more tightly defended? So he immediately convened a meeting of the generals for nearly an hour, and finally decided to continue to march towards Xinye, but instead of rushing over so obviously, he waited until late at night, separated the two armies, and attacked from the east and west gates at the same time, and caught the other side off guard.

The plan has been decided, and the army will rest on the spot, but after Zhang Xiao learned that the time to attack Xinye was set at midnight, he suddenly felt that his head was about to explode, and he really hoped that the night would never come.

Time came to night in the blink of an eye, because Niu Jin was now seriously injured, so Hao Zhao temporarily replaced, Zhang Xiao followed Hao Zhao to take advantage of the night and quickly rushed towards the west gate of Xinye, wanting to see if there would be a cultivator waiting in Xinye.

After Zhang Xiao left, Zhang Xiao never rested, she believed that Yuan Li's trip was definitely an ulterior secret, so she kept an eye on Yuan Li at all times, and saw Yuan Li walking to an unguarded place on the fence and secretly jumped out, she suddenly felt bad, and quickly ran over, believing that he must have done something unseemly.

Zhang Yao ran to the place where Yuan Liyue went out, and found that he had disappeared, it seemed that he was in a hurry, so he also wanted to go out, but Hao Zhong happened to pass by here at this time, and saw Zhang Yao standing by the fence, which was very strange, so he stepped forward and asked: "Zhang Yao guard, I don't know what you are doing here, we are about to attack Xinye, tonight will definitely be a fierce battle, you better prepare." ”

When Zhang Yao saw Hao Zhong here, it was not good to run out like this, so he walked towards him and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I don't need to rest as an immortal cultivator, by the way, do you know what Yuan Yi's tasks are now?"

Hao Zhong thought for a while and said, "Yuan Yi's guards don't have a task, and his identity is the same as you and Zhang Xiao's guards, so there will be no task arrangement." ”

Zhang Xiao was more sure of his thoughts now, but for the sake of caution, he asked again: "Then do you know that there are people who are connected with us in this vicinity?"

Hao Zhong didn't quite understand what Zhang Yao meant, and said half-incomprehensibly: "This place belongs to the boundary of Jingzhou, and there are no people who have anything to do with us, if it is based on the current situation, all of them are enemies here." ”

At this time, Zhang Miao completely believed that Yuan Li was plotting against him, and he must be exposed, but at this time, Zhang Yao was surprised to find that Yuan Li happened to be walking here from the camp, and suddenly felt incredible, didn't he go out just now? Why is he still here now, suddenly a thought appeared in Zhang Yao's mind, it seems that this Yuan Li is his stand-in for staying here.

Zhang Yao was worried that Hao Zhong would ask Yuan Li about his questions and thus expose his intentions, so he said to him: "Hao Zhong, there is nothing for you to do here, you go and do your own business, as the commander of the hundred horses, you must have something to deal with." ”

Hao Zhong heard that Zhang Jiao was giving him an order to evict guests, so he didn't say anything anymore, and after saying hello to Yuan Li, he walked away, while Yuan Li walked up to Zhang Jiao and asked: "Why are you still staying here, the army will set off soon, don't you go and prepare?" I heard Zhang Xiao say that Xinye is garrisoned by immortal cultivators, and we have to be fully prepared." ”

Zhang Jiao was afraid that he would startle the snake, so he didn't directly expose Yuan Li, and asked him: "I have always been very suspicious of what you are doing now, do you really want to help Cao Cao conquer the world? Don't you want to restore the Zhong clan? Can you give me a clear answer." ”

Yuan Li replied politely: "I guess you must have doubts about me, why don't you go to my camp, and I will explain it to you slowly." ”

Zhang Yao had no opinion, so he followed Yuan Li to his tent, but how could Zhang Yao really want to listen to his explanation, now it is completely certain that Yuan Li's true body must be going to do something disobedient.

Zhang Yao followed behind Yuan Li, quietly turned into two Taiyin seals in his hands, turned one into a stand-in when Yuan Li didn't pay attention to himself, and injected the other into his body at the same time, hiding his own aura, and when everything was done, Zhang Yao found that Yuan Li didn't notice his movements, and felt very good, so he walked towards the place where Yuan Li jumped out, and the stand-in followed Yuan Li's stand-in to continue to his tent.

Zhang Jiao walked to the fence and turned out without hesitation, but now he couldn't find any trace of Yuan Li, and because he was carrying a traceless ball, he couldn't even detect his aura, but for the current Zhang Yao, this is nothing.

Zhang Yao came to a big tree, turned into a sun seal, injected it into the trunk, and read the memory of the big tree, such a thing is not something that any immortal cultivator can do, Zhang Yao found the direction that Yuan Li left according to the memory of the big tree, and quickly followed, and has been using this method, I believe that it will not be long before it can be found.

Zhang Yao followed Yuan Li's traces for a long time, and finally found his trace on a small road, so he approached carefully, and tried his best to maintain the Taiyin seal and hide his breath.

After Zhang Jiao found a favorable position to hide, he found that there were two people next to Yuan Li, although one of them was not familiar with the young man, but he had seen it when Xiahoudun returned to Xuchang after defeat, he happened to be in the group of troops that entered the city later, and he was the general of the pro-emperor faction that Xiahouen said, and it seemed that he was the traitor who revealed the information of the army.

The person opposite Yuan Li was riding a white horse and wearing simple armor, and it seemed that he was Liu Bei's liaison, but he was handsome and heroic, and he was not an ordinary miscellaneous soldier at first glance.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Xiao knew that Yuan Li was a spy in the army, and he provided the information to the enemy, so he must listen clearly to what they want to do next, and then inform Zhang Xiao in time, hoping that he will not have any accidents in Xinye now.

Yuan Li finished talking about a lot of the current plans of the Han army, and then took a breath and asked: "Zilong, although Xu Chu's tens of thousands of troops have been defeated, the number of the other two vanguard troops combined is more than twice that of him, are you sure to resist it?"

The person in front of Yuan Li was Liu Bei's favorite general Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun replied majestically at this time: "If we are in terms of numbers, we are definitely not opponents, but it is nothing to have a military division here, and now we have set up a heavy ambush in Xinye, just wait for Cao Ren and Cao Hong's army to arrive, and they will definitely not return." ”

The young man standing next to Yuan Li was also very excited, and said: "Great, the battle of Queweipo was fought very beautifully, almost annihilating Xu Chu's entire army, this time these two armies will also end up, as long as Cao Cao's large number of troops can be eliminated, the emperor will soon be able to regain control of the world." ”

Yuan Li saw that the young man was very excited, and also said: "As long as this battle can be won, I believe that your dream will not be far away, if these three vanguard armies are all annihilated, Cao Cao's army going south will be almost half, and then Dongwu will definitely take advantage of the opportunity, plus the emperor's forces and my righteous army sneak attack from the rear, Cao Cao will definitely be surrounded and annihilated." ”

Zhao Yun also said to Yuan Li: "Then you have to be careful, since the death of Lord Liu Jingzhou, Jingzhou is actually under the control of the Cai family, and they are still colluding with Cao Cao behind their backs, although they don't know that we have learned the news, but in order to prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking with the Jingzhou army, we will continue to move south even if we win this battle, so we can't support you." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Li made a stop gesture and said: "Zilong, you don't have to worry, we have endured it for so long, since we dare to make a move, we must be fully prepared, don't bother you, now that the vanguard army has left, you better hurry back to organize." ”

Zhao Yun bowed to Yuan Li and the others very gratefully, and said: "Thank you very much for the information provided, in order to avoid the two of you not getting involved in the future battle of Xinye, please do not enter Xinye City, please remember this." ”

Although Zhao Yun did not tell Yuan Li their battle plan, he also pointed out a clear way, and Yuan Li said complimentarily: "Thank you for reminding us, we will definitely remember, since the news that needs to be explained has also been explained, then we will return." ”

Zhao Yun also knew that the situation in the vanguard army was very tense now, and he was worried that Yuan Li and the others would be suspected if they came out for too long, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and quickly drove his horse in the direction of Xinye.
