Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 222 Chapter 221

Lin Mo is absolutely cautious about Yuan Shang's control. In addition to arranging Zhao Yun, Wei Yue, Gao Shun, and Xu Sheng to be his bodyguards in turn, all of the camp is full of Lu Ying troops, and Yuan Shang's range of activities cannot exceed Fifty feet.

If it had been in the past, the people under his command would have had objections, but at this juncture, it is not a big problem, because his people were killed and injured too badly, and many others were captured, and there are not many people who are truly loyal to Yuan Shang. .

It is worth mentioning that Gao Shun came to tell Lin Mo after he had arranged the matters at hand. When he came, Lu Lingqi made a special trip to Xiaoguan to bring Lin Mo a letter from home.

Looking at the silk cloth in his hand, Lin Mo was in a daze. In this era, especially in wartime, it is very difficult to send a letter from home.

Because the army could move at any time, and fast cavalry was not an option in the barracks, an ordinary sergeant might not receive a letter from home for a year or even a few years.

Lu Lingqi's letter didn't say anything, it just brought up some common things, such as her belly getting bigger and bigger, her mother said that she looked like a boy, and she also mentioned the red sleeve trick along the way. Put it aside, that girl Guo Zhao is quite good at handling things.

In the end, it was the concern that made Lin Mo be careful, the battlefield was ruthless.

Lu Lingqi's letter can make Lin Mo feel a kind of peace, as if no matter how late you come home, there will always be a light on for you.

Of course, there was a reply to the letter. After Lin Mo wrote a reply letter, it was probably inspired, so he wrote three more letters.

There are four letters in total, and they go to two different places respectively. It should be quite interesting for Lin Mo to imagine the expression of the person who receives the letter.

"Zilong, this is my letter from home. Do you need to send it back together? Don't hold back. I don't know when the messenger will leave this time." Lin Mo ran to Zhao Yun's military tent on purpose. In front of him, he waved the silk cloth in his hand.

"I sent it to Changshan as usual, and Pengcheng didn't go along the way."

After Zhao Yun replied dryly, Lin Mo nodded and turned to leave, sighing as he walked: "Oh, forget it, alas, I don't know what's going on at Ziyang Academy. I have finished writing more than 400 books, and I seem to have the intention to go, which is a pity, a pity."

Zhao Yunzhen couldn't bear to ask him to stay, but after Lin Mo left, he hesitated, and went to the table, picked up a piece of silk cloth in a daze, and said a thousand words but didn't know how to write, a little melancholy.

The next step is to take Yuan Shang to gather the 10,000+ people in Yuan Tan's Zhongjun stronghold. Yuan Tan died, Han Ju and Zhao Rui also died, and the backbone became the Xin family brothers. Together with Guo Tu, the efficiency is still very high.

Of course, the main reason is actually food and grass. These people always have to eat. After Yuan Tan died, the backup supplies were cut off. In addition, the Xin family brothers and Guo Tuce responded, and they were afraid of Lv Bu's tiger power. The surrender was relatively smooth. .

As Lin Mo estimated, a group of people ran away, the number was not too many, and it was estimated to be around 3 to [-] people.

I don't know if they were really loyal to Yuan Tan and chose to become bandits, or they were young men who had no intention of participating in the war and were arrested, but Lu Bu did not arrest them for desertion. After all, what is needed at this time is stability.

Even so, it would be very time-consuming to rearrange the 10,000+ people and reshuffle the original chiefs, military marquises, Sima, captains, school captains, etc.

Of course, all of this does not need to be done in Xiajin. According to Lin Mo's request, everyone is pulled to the plain. There are two advantages to doing so.

The first is to facilitate the downsizing and reshuffle of these troops. Not to mention other things, if the loyalty of the Sima and above cannot be determined, they must be replaced by their own people, not to mention the countless detailed rules.

Another one, Yuan Tan is dead, and Qingzhou is the first one that needs to be recovered. This involves the issue of appeasement of the people, but in this regard, the advantages of the Yuan family's heritage are reflected. He does not need to visit each county like Lu Bu. Paper documents, the prefects of the six counties of Qingzhou honestly came to pay homage to the new master.

Not coming?

No problem, my uncle is very good at playing, and he is also a famous teacher.

Lu Bu was envious at one time. I never expected such an embroidered pillow to be so effective. Lin Mo just laughed and said nothing about it. You have only played less than one-tenth of his role.

The road ahead is long, and Yuan Shang's help is absolutely indispensable.

The only thing that has some bad reviews is that it is very difficult to meet Yuan Shang now. If you want to meet the Lord of the Northern Kingdom, you must first meet the Marquis of Lanling.

Lu Bu was worried that after a long time, the wind would be in the wrong direction, and public opinion would not be favorable to the Lu family, but Lin Mo didn't care. He had done all of these things, and you still wanted to be unaware?That is obviously impossible.

Cao Cao has a good saying, those who are famous all over the world are often ruined all over the world, sometimes you don't have to care too much about your feathers getting wet.

Without Lu Bu and Lin Mo, Yuan Shang would sooner or later be on the road to destruction. The internal problems of the Yuan family were too serious. During this period of becoming a puppet, Yuan Shang himself gradually realized this problem.

He was very sad. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he felt very strange. What made him sad was not only the Yuan family's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains changing hands quietly, but he finally discovered that he did not know when he had disappeared. I know the young man in the mirror who was once high-spirited and ambitious to make the Yuan family stand on the top again.

However, the success of the king and the defeat of the bandit have been caused since ancient times. He is sad and helpless.

In fact, Gao Gan was on the verge of despair. After losing to Cao Cao one after another, more than half of his soldiers and horses were lost, their morale was low, and their soldiers had no fighting spirit. It was extremely difficult to defend the city, let alone fight back.

Moreover, when Cao Cao stepped into the boundary of Bingzhou, he had already made two preparations. On the one hand, he sent people to bring gifts to the Hexi prairie to pay homage to the Shanyu Huchuquan of the Southern Huns, hoping that he would lead the Huns to rescue him.

As for the gift, Hu Chuquan accepted it, but the soldiers and horses disappeared without a trace. There was no other way. He had seen the court angel before the high-ranking envoy went.

The second reinforcement is Zhang Yan from Taihang Mountain. In fact, this move is really a foolish move. After all, the two families have been fighting for so many years, and the grievances are too deep. Zhang Yan has been choosing between Cao Cao and Lu Bu from beginning to end.Not considering the scope at all.

Knowing that Zhang Yan's people went straight to plunder Zhongshan and Hejian, Gao Gan knew that he would not have any reinforcements.

If it wasn't for the relationship with Yuan Shao's nephew, he would even have the idea of ​​wanting to vote for Cao. In the world of life, he still has to do something and not do something. In this regard, Gao Gan is much tougher than Yuan Shang.

Fortunately, at this juncture, Yuan Shang finally wrote a letter, saying that he had defeated and killed Yuan Tan, but because of the critical strength of this battle, no one could be spared for a while, please hold on, and he will soon will be able to come.

Gao Gan didn't quite understand why Jiang Yiqu's people were not transferred. Yuan Shangxin didn't say so, so he could only hold on. Although it was only a distant hope, it finally gave him some confidence.

Cao Cao also received the same battle report. Xun You probably guessed that Gao Gan was afraid of being beaten, and he must be waiting for help. Others headed towards Hexi and Le'an counties.

If you don't save the high-ranking officials, then the remaining counties such as Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang will surrender without a fight.

They don't worry that Yuan Shang will come to the rescue after rectifying the troops. Who are Cao Cao and Xun You? With their toes, they can figure out that Lin Mo is behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could it be Yuan Tan's helper? You, Lu Bu, have become Yuan Shang's right-hand man instead, isn't that ridiculous.

After summing it up, it became very clear that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Kingdom could not be mobilized now, because he had to appease the officials of the family and take in the prisoners. He didn't dare to move the soldiers and horses.

After strengthening this belief, Cao Cao can boldly attack other counties and counties, and Bingzhou will soon change hands.

"This kid is really an eye-opener every time he makes a move. With only 2 people, he led the Yuan brothers' tens of thousands of people by the nose, and finally became the biggest winner. It really makes Lu Bu have a lot of money. Here is a chance to take over the Northern Kingdom." Cao Cao gave a wry smile.

This is what he didn't expect, and what was even more unexpected was that Lin Mo's speed was so fast.

Although he hasn't been able to figure out exactly what happened before and after, but according to his understanding of Lin Mo, the Yuan brothers must have been played around by him.

It's a pity that Zhang Wang died, otherwise he would have to be beaten.

"This son is indeed very skilled, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to truly control the Northern Kingdom. I feel that now he not only wants to annex the Northern Kingdom, but also needs to find an ally." Xun You followed Cao Cao and wandered in the village. walk in the courtyard.

"Yuan Xi." Cao Cao stopped and turned to look at him.

Xun You nodded, "Lin Mo has seen the influence of the Yuan family, so we can also start with the Yuan family."

"Actually, that's what I wanted to do."

Cao Cao sighed, and continued on his way, "But this kid has no ambition to compete for the throne. When the second Yuan seized the heir, he was also in An'an Youzhou, and he took his duty firmly. I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade."

"It didn't work in the past, maybe it won't work now, and it will definitely work later." Xun You smiled.

Cao Cao stopped for the second time, and looked at Xun You suspiciously. After a while, a dazed expression appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly, "Of course."

Lin Mo's desire to coerce Yuan Shang to order the North Kingdom is essentially the same as coercing the emperor to order the princes. No matter how you do this kind of thing, it is always impossible to hide it from the world, otherwise you will not be infamous as a traitor.

When the news spreads, Yuan Xi will definitely not be able to sit still. With a little brain, he should understand that it is impossible for Yuan's family to become the big officials guarding one side if Lu Bu is in charge of the Northern Kingdom.

After he feels the crisis, he will send people to form an alliance, and things will go much smoother.

In fact, Cao Cao would prefer to follow Guo Jia's grand strategic deployment, take Merger Prefecture and then go to Jingzhou, but unfortunately, the current Jingzhou is not easy to take.

Although there is also a situation in Jingzhou where the second son seizes the heir, Liu Chao is still very strong, and he will not die for a while. Jingzhou is not in chaos, and Cao Cao has no way to take over. For this, there is no other way but to wait patiently.

In this case, we can only unite with Yuan Xi and suppress Lu Bu a little.

After the Central Plains War, Yuan Shao died of illness, which caused the flames of war to spread to the North. Qingji was fighting, Bingzhou was also fighting, and even Jiaozhou was fighting, but this Jingzhou is a pure land on earth.

From Liu Biao's point of view, this is very good. Now that he is old, he has lost his ambitions. He only hopes to protect the environment and the people, and let the people under his rule live a peaceful life for a few days.

However, Uncle Huang has always believed in the life motto that the tiger has great ambitions, and that gambling is not a loss, not to mention that he is only in his early forties, and his heart starts to agitate when he sees the wolves in all directions.

He feels that now is the perfect time to make a comeback, and something must be done.

In fact, Liu Bei didn't dare to have such an idea half a year ago, but after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he really felt what it means to live a life that is open.

His first suggestion after leaving the mountain was to ask Liu Qi to be the Chancellor of Changsha County. Cai Mao strongly supported him, and his idea was very simple. The farther he went, the less obstacles Liu Cong would encounter in his position.

Therefore, Liu Qi went to Changsha to become the magistrate, and invited Liu Bei over along with him, but Liu Biao just turned a blind eye to this.

Then Zhang Zhongjing, the prefect of Changsha, encountered a headache. From his official position, he was controlling Liu Qi, but he was Liu Biao's eldest son. He didn't dare to restrict him too much.

However, this is not a solution, because if I completely hand over the decision-making power to Liu Qi, in the eyes of the Cai family, I am supporting Liu Qi, and undoubtedly involved myself in the war of seizing the heir. Of course, Zhang Ji is not willing to develop the situation to the point of confrontation with the Cai family.

What to do, in a dilemma, he simply begged for the bones, so a piece of paper was brought up. Liu Biao also knew that Zhang Ji had no intention of being the prefect of Changsha, so he agreed with a swipe of his pen.

After Zhang Ji came down, the Cai family began to arrange for someone to replace him, but Liu Biao was not so ignorant that he didn't even care about his son's life. He knew that if the prefect of Changsha was also occupied by the Cai family, then Liu Qi would probably be suppressed out of breath. Come on, people have already taken a step back, so don't go too far.

This time, Liu Biao resisted all opinions and simply referred Liu Qi to the position of Changsha prefect, just hoping that he could protect himself.

And these were all planned by Zhuge Liang when he suggested that he go to Changsha to serve as the county magistrate, but when everything was done, everyone realized that one leaf knows the autumn, and Liu Bei will inevitably praise it.

But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously. This was just relying on Liu Qi's own identity. Zhuge Liang had merit, but not much.

Now that Liu Qi became the prefect of Changsha, everyone has a real foothold, and this is adjacent to Jiangxia, and Huang Zu is Liu Qi's absolute supporter. In other words, they have actually controlled the two counties of Jingxiang now.

Moreover, after becoming the prefect, Liu Qi has a lot of autonomy, not to mention other things, as long as he does not affect the taxes paid to Xiangyang, he can expand the military and horses as long as he does not affect the taxes paid to Xiangyang. This is very important.

Then, the soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Changsha were all handed over to Liu Qi's command. Among them, two people have to be mentioned.

Marching Sima Wei Yan and Pi General Huang Zhong.

As the two great helpers of the emperor's uncle in history, Huang Hansheng, who has the name of Lian Po, is not old. As the general of the five tigers, the brilliant record of beheading Xia Houyuan in the Dingjunshan formation is almost understood by readers who have a little knowledge of the Three Kingdoms in later generations. Existence, and some good people once said that Huang Zhong might be able to overwhelm Lu Bu when he was young.

Compared with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan seems to be much inferior. In fact, compared to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan's highlights may not be comparable to others.

I won’t mention anything about fighting generals. Just when Cao Cao was hunted down in the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao’s front teeth were shot off with one arrow. Apart from Ma Chao, who can make Ah Meng cut off his beard and discard his robe, how many people can have? Cao Cao is so embarrassed.

During this period, Liu Bei was also very polite to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, but this kind of politeness was only aimed at winning people's hearts. After all, before showing their power on the battlefield, they were doomed to be shrouded in the halo of shutting down two ten thousand enemies.

In addition, Zhuge Liang relied on his connections, his status as Liu Qi's son, and Liu Bei's emperor's uncle, to visit the powerful families in Changsha and Jiangxia one by one. The effect is also obvious, and he has won a lot of support and real benefits. .

Grain, money and even war horses
There were even some unexpected gains. For example, Huo Jun, who was visiting friends in Jiangxia, was persuaded by Zhuge Liang's penetrating tongue, and he was ready to go back to his hometown in Nanyang and bring his family soldiers to join Liu Bei.

Although, it is Liu Qi who bears the name of Changsha prefect;

Although, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, supported only Liu Qi;

Although, all the soldiers and horses in Changsha City are loyal to Liu Qi.

But this doesn't affect Liu Bei's feeling that it's time to come out and do something, because things have come to this point, Liu Qi's fate has long been bound to him, and it is a relationship of sharing weal and woe.

What's more, he is not for his own private affairs, but for the great cause of his family and country. He wants to send troops to attack Xuchang and save the emperor.

"Brother, that's a good idea. Now that Cao Cao and the slaves of the three surnames have gone to the northern kingdom, Xuchang is empty, and a surprise attack with the army will be successful!" Zhang Fei has long been suffocated. In addition to training soldiers these days, he heard that there is a chance to fight. Immediately jumped out to agree.

"At this time, Cao's army is fighting on the front lines of Bingzhou and Anfeng. I only need [-] elite soldiers to welcome the emperor back within three days." Guan Yu's face was calm, but the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden.

However, it is obviously not enough for only the two younger brothers to support this matter, and these words are not for the two of them, but for Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei is not worried that Liu Qi will not agree, this nephew understands righteousness.

But he knew very well that if he wanted to use troops abroad, without Liu Biao's consent, even if you stationed millions of troops in Changsha, you would not be able to do anything.

How do you recruit troops on weekdays? Liu Biao can choose to acquiesce, but if you leave Changsha, you will become a rebel. No one can afford this title.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, clasped his hands with a feather fan in his hand and said, "My lord, if Liu Jingsheng wanted to make meritorious service, he should have done it before the Great War in the Central Plains, why wait until today.

Not to mention the Central Plains, now that Sun Ce is leading troops to fight fiercely in Jiaozhou, Wu Ju is still Liu Jingsheng's hand-picked prefect, but he also ignores this and has no intention of helping. It can be seen that this matter cannot be reversed by manpower, we can only wait opportunity. "

Liu Bei couldn't help being disappointed by the expected answer.

He was right. Before the Great War in the Central Plains, he had already lobbied Liu Biao to use his troops, but Liu Biao was devoted to retirement, and the Cai family and the Kuai family obstructed him.

Bringing it up again now is nothing more than hoping that Zhuge Liang can have some means.

Now it seems that there is still nothing to do but wait, Liu Bei has a feeling that his life is wasting in vain.

"Hey, Xuchang is just an empty city, so let me and my second brother lead 3000 people to go through Jiangxia, day and night, and they will surely enter Yingchuan without anyone noticing.

By the time Liu Biao and Cai Mao reacted, the emperor had already arrived in Jingxiang, could they still refuse? "

Zhang Fei's idea sounds a bit absurd, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is indeed a chance of success. 3000 people are not too many, plus they are all traveling at night and passing through Huang Zu's territory. As long as he cooperates, the matter will be very good. There are nine times it can be done.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei looked at each other, and then both looked at Zhuge Liang.

"The three generals should not underestimate the Cai family's eyeliner in Jingxiang."

Zhuge Liang smiled and swung his feather fan, "Don't say that we used Jiangxia's surprise attack on Xuchang. Our people will receive the news as soon as they leave Changsha Mansion Cai Mao. I am afraid that Liu Jingsheng's messenger will catch up with you before stepping into Jiangxia's land." .”

"Military Master, do you think highly of Cai Mao, or look down on us?" Zhang Fei said with some dissatisfaction.

They all admit that Zhuge Liang is somewhat capable in wooing aristocratic families, but with all due respect for his military talent, he has to show his knowledge to convince us.

"Right now we can still gain a foothold in Changsha. If it is true what the three generals said, once Liu Jingsheng becomes suspicious of the lord, it will give Cai Mao a reason to expel us. Don't say that the position of prefect is not guaranteed, and even we will lose it immediately. Everything in front of me." Zhuge Liang revealed the actual situation helplessly.

Liu Bei is not stupid, of course he knows the key points, and he also believes in the strength of the Cai family. After all, he is trying to seize the heir, so Changsha will definitely be very careful about every move, so he can only sigh, "Let's let this matter go."

Seeing Liu Bei's lost face, Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it, and he said with relief: "My lord, for those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times, in addition to doing their best, the more important thing is to follow the will of heaven, not to force, not to act rashly.

Before the time comes, one must forbear and dormant, move one's heart and forbearance, and accumulate strength secretly. "

Zhuge Liang's words are actually full of life philosophy, and it can even be said to be summed up by analyzing the lives of many kings who have reached the pinnacle of life.

Probably because the words he said did not match his age, or because the proposal was rejected, in short, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at him with contempt.

In the end, Liu Bei joined in, and replied with a smile: "What you said is very true. Now it's just that the opportunity has come, but the time has not yet come."

There are two words in the middle of people who are soft-spoken and eloquent. Zhuge Liang knows that those two words are called success.

It is true that Liu Bei respects him very much, but he still has a long way to go if he really wants everyone to worship him heart-to-heart.

They attach great importance to winning or losing on the battlefield. The problem is that the current situation does not allow Liu Bei to go to war at all. Zhuge Liang's grand strategic deployment is also based on Changsha and grows step by step. This is a helpless move and the only feasible way.

It's just that it's impossible to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a satisfactory answer before finishing this road.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was indeed obedient to Zhuge Liang, which made Zhuge Liang firm in his choice.

In Anfeng City, Cao Lu has been confronting each other for half a month.

On this day, Zhang Liao took the initiative to invite Chen Deng to have a drink in his temporary courtyard.

Chen Deng expressed his bewilderment. They knew Zhang Liao's temperament. It was true that his words were sometimes irrelevant, but he was absolutely methodical in his actions. The big battle could start at any time, so why would he want to drink for no reason.

Chen Deng even persuaded him not to drink at this time, but Zhang Liao replied that he didn't need to drink on weekdays, but he had to drink tonight.

Chen Deng, who couldn't beat Zhang Liao, had to come as promised.

When they arrived, they found out that Zhang Liao was not only entertaining himself, but also Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and Song Xian.

Chen Deng exchanged glances with the three of them, calm and composed, but Cao Xing and the others were not so natural, and an inexplicable uneasiness welled up in his heart.

Today's Zhang Liao is a bit abnormal.

"Yuanlong, to be honest, without your Chen family's great help, Marquis Wen would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou so easily. I would like to toast you with this glass first." Zhang Liao raised his glass and respected Chen Deng empty-handedly.

What exactly do you want to do?Chen Deng became more and more confused, but he still insisted on the principle of mutual bragging in business and said with a smile: "No way, the general is the arm of Marquis Wen, and I dare not take credit for it."

After Zhang Liao finished his glass, he poured the wine on his own.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Deng still couldn't hold back and asked: "General, the enemy is now in front of us, and alcohol is forbidden in the army. You must have something important to discuss when you come here?"

Zhang Liao didn't answer him, just pressed his hand, then raised his wine glass again, and respected Cao Xing and the three of them, "The three brothers have followed Wen Hou since Guanzhong. During the battle of Xingyang, Song Xian blocked Cao Hong The reinforcements bought the most precious time for Marquis Wen to intercept Cao's army;
Cheng Lian, when you and Wei Yue followed Marquis Wen, dozens of people beat Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of troops and fled in a hurry, how dazzling.

And you, Cao Xing, when Puyang broke through, you fired thirteen arrows in a row, shooting down thirteen cavalrymen of the Cao army, including a vanguard lieutenant, which scared them away, otherwise we don’t know how many people would have died.

After so many years, it can be regarded as a lot of hard work. This cup is toast to you. "

After finishing speaking, regardless of the reaction of the three of them, they just drank it all on their own.

The three of them looked at each other, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and drank it too.

"Wen Yuan, you still remember these things." After drinking a cup, Cao Xing said bitterly.

"I have never forgotten it, and I believe Marquis Wen has not forgotten it either."

Zhang Liao continued to pour the wine, and said with emotion: "But people, you can't just care about yourself, you also have to be considerate of other people's difficulties. Today's Marquis Wen seems to be sitting in two states. In fact, how many things can be done according to one's heart? Especially our group of old brothers, we must understand him even more."

"Wen Yuan, I'm a vulgar person, I don't know how to play charades, I invited us all here today, there must be something to do, let's just talk about it." Cheng Lian, like Gao Shun, was a stuffy person, but couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he asked questions calmly.

Zhang Liao looked at the three of them and then at Chen Deng on the other side. The four of them looked at him expectantly. He put down his wine glass, sighed softly, and said in a deep voice, "There is something I haven't figured out all this time. , I want to ask the four of you to clarify."

"As the general instructed, I know everything I can say." Chen Deng cupped his hands and bowed.

Zhang Liao nodded and laughed dryly, "I have sent people to follow you four for a while, but I still haven't found out how you contacted Cao Jun. Can you let me know, otherwise I won't be able to set up an ambush."

Liaoshen spoke the most terrifying words in the most gentle tone.

When the four of them heard this, their hearts sank and expressions of horror appeared on their faces.

A thin layer of sweat oozed directly from the back of Cao He and Song Xian's frightened backs. Cheng Lian was still steady, but just stared at Zhang Liao with a sullen face.

Compared with the three of them, Chen Deng was the most natural, and perfectly concealed the horror in his heart, "General, it's not easy to talk nonsense, I am loyal to Marquis Wen, if you wronged me indiscriminately, I'm afraid It is to create civil strife and bring disaster upon oneself.”

"Eh."

Zhang Liao waved his hands and said with a smile, "Yuan Long is just trying to scare me, Zhang Liao, an honest man. Tell me, is there any other internal response? The city gate order? Or the defense officer? Or is it your Chen family?
I can't stand looking at Xiahou Dun for a few days. It takes time for me to deploy the army, so I can't delay any longer. Let's talk. "

Chen Deng's face turned cold, and he drank his wine self-consciously, "There is nothing wrong with inflicting crimes. The general holds the power of an army, but he wants to wrong us. I can't argue with it."

Zhang Liao sneered, and turned to look at the three of Cao Xing, "Why don't you think about the old robes, what do you think?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Song Xianqi and Ai Ai said: "Wen Wenyuan, I offended you somewhere, and you are going to wrong me."

Knowing that they would not admit it, Zhang Liao shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, time is running out, so I won't hang around with you."

Then he clapped his hands, and two graceful and charming young girls stepped out of the room.

Seeing the two women walk in, Chen Deng's hand holding the cup began to tremble, and Song Xian and Cao Xing were so frightened that beads of sweat gathered on their brows.

"I have met the general." The second daughter bowed her body as a blessing.

Zhang Liao pouted at the second daughter, "Do I need to say anything more?"

This, this, Cao Xing and the three of them immediately turned ashen, and they no longer wanted to deny it to death.

Isn't this Guo Zhao, the concubine that Chen Deng took half a year ago? The other one is her maid, how could she turn against each other?
"Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan"

Cao Xing stood up in fright, and when he was about to explain, Zhang Liao's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he said sharply, "Shut up! I've given you many chances, and you don't cherish them, so dare to say one more word." , I will chop you up immediately!"

Afterwards, Zhang Liao drew a vicious smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Chen Deng again, "How about Yuanlong, can you tell me, how did you contact Cao Jun?"

Chen Deng stared blankly at Wang Lan, without saying a word, his once tender eyes looked at him at this moment, but there was no disturbance.

"I haven't treated you well enough, why did you betray me?" Chen Deng's eyes were a little red, and he seemed to be emotional.

"Your Excellency treats women with great affection. If there is an afterlife, I would like to repay you as a slave." A trace of guilt appeared on Wang Lan's face, and those watery eyes were still as innocent as they were back then.

bang~
The wine glass in Chen Deng's hand fell to the ground, his jaws were set firmly, love and hate intertwined in his eyes, he was very kind to Wang Lan, even surpassing his married wife.

Even for a person like Chen Deng, the marriage cannot be decided by himself, it is just paving the way for the benefit of the family.

But Wang Lan, he was really moved, not only because of her looks, but also because of her well-behaved, no matter when, she can always give him everything he needs most, just like a girl who will never make mistakes. people.

Chen Deng once thought that he had met true love, but it turned out to be Huang Liang Yimeng.

No, this is more heart-wrenching than Huang Liang Yimeng.

Because at this moment, Chen Deng began to realize that it wasn't that Wang Lan couldn't make mistakes, but because she didn't love her, so her every word and deed was to act according to her own preferences, and to be close to him was just a purpose.

"Yuanlong, it doesn't feel good to be betrayed." Zhang Liao shook the wine glass in his hand and snorted coldly.

"Hahaha"

Chen Deng laughed loudly when he heard the words, and he couldn't stop laughing tears, "I didn't expect that I would be ruined by a woman, okay, okay, Gentle Township, Hero Tomb, taught me a lesson."

"Can we talk now?" Zhang Liao asked again.

"The matter has come to this point, if you want to kill, you can do whatever you want. As for other people, I don't want to mess around." It was the first time Chen Deng felt what it means to be sad than to die.

Ever since he was a child, he has been so proud, so dazzling, born in such a big family, well-clothed and well-fed, and seems to have infinite scenery, but no one knows that Chen Gui has told him to put the interests of the family first since he was a child. Do things with this idea.

It seems that he has never really done anything for himself, he even forgot what he wanted, like a lost boat floating in the sea.

Until he met Wang Lan, he felt that his life seemed to have a little meaning.

It's a pity that it was nothing in the end.

Chen Deng sat there on his knees, lowered his head and cried loudly, like a child who lost his favorite toy.

"Yunwen said, hand over the list, and anyone who involves your Chen family can be dealt with leniently, including you Chen Deng; but if you are stubborn, he will kill Chen Gui first and then everyone you know. Don't think that the Chen family You can be unscrupulous with deep roots in Xuzhou, you know, Yunwen has always been able to do what he says, he has a lot of means, I advise you to understand."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao turned and left. When passing by Chen Deng, he said in a low voice, "I'll give you half an hour to think about it. Don't challenge my patience."

Seeing the howling Chen Deng, Wang Lan just sighed softly, shook her head and followed Zhang Liao away.

Cao Xing and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

They wanted to recruit, but the problem was that only Chen Deng had the list, so they wanted to persuade them. They felt that it was hard to persuade them to cry so sad now, so they had to wait.
