The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Chapter 139
Hao Meng gathered a crowd to rebel, and all he brought with him were soldiers and horses from the headquarters. Just in time to change defenses tonight and conduct a night patrol, he led the crowd to surround the prefect's mansion.

The prefect's mansion is still some distance away from the barracks, even though the prefect's mansion is full of noise, there is no sound from the barracks.What's more, Hao Meng has led troops to surround the prefect's mansion and killed all the people in the mansion, so the news cannot be leaked out.

However, despite all calculations, there is still a flaw in Hao Meng's plan, and that is Zhang Yan.

At this time, Zhang Yan and Lu Bu rode the red rabbit horse together and rushed to the barracks without stopping. They galloped all the way and soon arrived at the barracks.

Here in the barracks, due to the celebration banquet last night, the soldiers were all drunk and staggered, so they simply fell asleep outside.

Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly said to Zhang Yan: "Gao Shun never drinks alcohol, and rushed to the camp!"

Zhang Yan didn't know where the trapped camp was, so Lu Bu showed Zhang Yan the way, and the two of them shuttled through the crowd, and soon arrived at Gao Shun's trapped camp.

When trapped in the camp, not only Gao Shun did not drink alcohol, but also the soldiers in the camp did not drink alcohol. After all, drinking was wrong.

"Where is Gao Shun!" Lu Bu shouted with all his strength as soon as he was trapped in the camp.

It's a pity that his voice was still a little low, so Zhang Yan shouted instead of Lu Bu: "Where is Gao Shun!"

Gao Shun slept with his clothes on all the time. He didn't take off his armor or weapon. When he heard someone yelling outside, he jumped off the bed and ran out of the tent. He saw Lu Bu and Zhang Yan riding the same horse. , There was a hint of panic on the faces of both of them.

"My lord, what happened?" Gao Shun hurried over, clasped his fists and asked.

"Hao Meng rebelled, quickly lead the troops to put down the rebellion!" Lu Bu said to Gao Shun.

"Here!" Gao Shun answered without asking why, and immediately shouted at the barracks, and assembled the entire camp. Although there were only a few hundred people, they were all elites.

Gao Shun left ten soldiers to protect Lu Bu, and he rushed towards the prefect's mansion with the rest.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly said to Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, my soldiers and horses are stationed at the west gate and east gate. I will go and gather troops to help you put down the rebellion!"

Lu Bu said: "I'm sorry Zhang Anton, this red rabbit horse is fast, I will lend it to you for the time being, and return it to me after the rebellion is put down!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yan put down Lü Bu, pulled the rein of the horse, turned the horse's head, cupped his hands towards Lv Bu on the horse's back, and left.

Tai Shici and Niu Jin were stationed at the west gate, and Xu Chu and Xu Sheng were stationed at the east gate. Ever since Xuzhou soldiers entered Dingtao City, they only stayed in the barracks for one night. somethin'.

Therefore, Zhang Yan proposed to divide the soldiers and horses into two, and station them at the east gate and west gate respectively, so as to help Lu Bu's army defend the city and reduce conflicts.

Zhang Yan rode a red rabbit horse and headed towards the west gate, which was the closest to the barracks, so it was Zhang Yan's preferred destination.

Although Tai Shici and Niu Jin were also included in today's celebration banquet, due to Zhang Yan's confession, they did not drink too much alcohol, at least they remained sober.

When Zhang Yan arrived, he immediately gathered Tai Shici and Niu Jin around, told the story of Hao Meng's rebellion, and left Niu Jin to guard the city gate, while he took Tai Shici to help Gao Shun put down the rebellion.

At the same time, he sent people to the east gate and asked Xu Chu to lead the cavalry to move quickly to the north gate to prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking, and asked Xu Sheng to guard the east gate.

Zhang Yan led Tai Shici and other [-] cavalry, and when they were about to reach the prefect's mansion, they stopped suddenly. Zhang Yan believed that Gao Shun's camp would surely put down Hao Meng's rebellion, so he didn't want to add more trouble, so he changed his route to the south. Go to the south gate defended by Lu Bu's army.

The one defending the south gate was Song Xian, a hero under Lu Bu's tent, but because Song Xian was drunk last night, he was not at the south gate, and Song Xian's subordinate Sima was in charge of the defense temporarily.

Zhang Yan came with Tai Shici and other cavalry in a mighty manner, which surprised the army Sima. When he learned that it was Zhang Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The last general pays a visit to Zhang Andong. I don't know what's the important thing to do late at night?" Jun Sima came over to pay respects very politely.

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked: "Has anyone passed through this door tonight?"

The military commander replied truthfully: "One hour ago, the military division escorted the lord's wife out of the city overnight..."

"What did you say? Military division? Are you referring to Chen Gong?" Zhang Yan immediately became nervous when he heard this, and asked hastily.

The army Sima nodded quickly.

"Okay!" Zhang Yan's heart was shocked. The doubts and strange things in his heart before that were immediately answered at this moment. It must be Chen Gong's conspiracy.

"Open the city gate!" Zhang Yan roared angrily.

The army commander did not dare to disobey, and immediately opened the gate of the city. Zhang Yan and Tai Shici led [-] cavalry, and chased them out.

Chen Gong was Lu Bu's most trusted military adviser, so how could Chen Gong openly rebel against Lu Bu?Could it be that Chen Gong was forced by Hao Meng?Or did Chen Gong and Hao Meng conspire to rebel?

But no matter what, they kidnapped Diao Chan, what exactly is their intention?
No matter what happened, Zhang Yan had to catch up and find out the matter. It is unknown who else is the accomplice and whether this matter has anything to do with Cao Cao.

Zhang Yan, Tai Shici and the others were all cavalry, reflecting the bright moonlight, they chased along the ruts left on the official road, and chased for more than half an hour before they finally caught up with Diao Chan who was kidnapped.

More than 30 soldiers were all riding war horses, but there were also two carriages in the team, one was pulling Diaochan, and the other was pulling gold, silver and jewels.

And Chen Gong was sitting in the carriage carrying gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhang Yan and Tai Shici immediately divided into two groups, outflanked them, and soon surrounded these people.

When the more than 30 cavalrymen saw Zhang Yan and others, they were all nervous for a while, and immediately drew their weapons and rushed forward.

But these cavalry were not the opponents of Zhang Yan, Tai Shici and others, and were quickly killed.Surrounded by the army, the drivers of the two carriages were forced to surrender.

At this time, Chen Gong came out of one of the carriages, and when he saw Zhang Yan, he said in a panic, "You finally caught up, otherwise, I will be kidnapped by Hao Meng!"

Zhang Yan was not interested in Chen Gong, he directly glanced at the carriage where Diao Chan was, seeing that Diao Chan was safe and sound in the carriage, and was in a coma, so he felt relieved.

He rode his horse to Chen Gong's side, and said to Chen Gong: "Mr. Chen, I have one thing that I don't understand. What happened in the eunuch's mansion tonight was due to your plan?"

Chen Gong said without changing his face: "I was also forced to do nothing. Hao Meng put the knife on my neck. I was really helpless, so I was forced to advise him. Since Zhang Andong has chased here, it means that Hao Meng Has Meng’s rebellion been quelled? I wonder how my lord dealt with Hao Meng?”

"Ling Chi!" Zhang Yan said.

"This time the traitor deserves what he deserves, and Ling Chi has given him an advantage."

"Mr. Chen, I'm curious, why Hao Meng rebelled, and why did he kidnap Mrs. Diao Chan?" Zhang Yan asked.

Chen Gongdao: "Hao Meng has been secretly communicating with Yuan Shu's messenger. Yuan Shu is greedy for Diao Chan's beauty, and threatened that if Hao Meng can send Diao Chan to Huainan, he will appoint Hao Meng as the governor of Yuzhou. Hao Meng was in a battle last time. Bei stabbed his hand, and Lu Bu ignored him, which made him dissatisfied, determined to give it a go, and took the risk, so he rebelled. However, Hao Meng thought it would be too difficult to give Diao Chan, and was afraid Lu Bu noticed him and found him, so he decided to get rid of Lu Bu together, cut off Lu Bu's head, and dedicated it to Yuan Shu."

"I see. Master Chen knows about Hao Meng very well. He must have known that Hao Meng was about to rebel. Why didn't Master Chen tell General Lu earlier?"

Chen Gongdao: "Hao Meng threatens my family's life, and I can't do anything about it... However, I have hinted to the lord many times, but it's a pity that the lord can't understand, it's no wonder it's my fault!"

"In that case, let's go back to Dingtao together."

Zhang Yan drove the army and continued to drive two carriages towards Dingtao City.

At this time, it was almost dawn, Zhang Yan was walking, but an evil thought appeared in his mind.

The reason why Lu Bu was able to rise was precisely because he was assisted by a resourceful person like Chen Gong, and Chen Gong was determined to follow Lu Bu. If Chen Gong was released again, Cao Cao would be wiped out in the future, and Chen Gong would encourage Lv Bu is his enemy, and Chen Gong will also be in serious trouble at that time.

If Chen Gong could be eliminated in this way, it would be tantamount to cutting off Lu Bu's left and right arms.Tonight, Chen Gong's strategy for Hao Meng is enough for him to drink a pot, and if he is an enemy in the future, he will be a more difficult person to deal with.

A trace of murderous intent appeared in Zhang Yan's heart. He looked back at the two carriages behind him, and remembered that Diao Chan was still in one of the carriages. If Chen Gong was killed, Diao Chan would not have to be sent back to Lu Bu's side. Well, then Diao Chan will become his woman.

Greed, selfishness, and evil entangled Zhang Yan's whole thoughts at this time...

Gradually, after some inner struggles, Zhang Yan made a decision to kill Chen Gong to avoid future troubles, and at the same time took Diao Chan as his own.

Zhang Yan thought so, and prepared to do the same.He stopped the army suddenly, called Tai Shici, and after giving some orders, Tai Shici took the order.

Seeing that Zhang Yan had stopped, Chen Gong opened the curtain and asked, "Zhang Andong, why did you stop?"

Zhang Yandao: "Mr. Chen, I suddenly remembered a very important matter..."

"What's the matter?" Chen Gong asked blankly.

"I was thinking, after I kill you, I will tell Lu Bu that you and Hao Meng conspired to rebel, what do you think Lu Bu will do?"

Chen Gong was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Are you going to kill me?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Yan replied firmly.

Chen Gong looked around, and there were Zhang Yan's followers all around. Even if Zhang Yan killed him, Lu Bu would not doubt Zhang Yan, but would follow Zhang Yan's words and mistakenly think that he and Hao Meng were conspiring to rebel !

He sneered and said: "Now you are surrounded by your people, and this is the wilderness. If you want to kill, go ahead. If I, Chen Gongtai, frown, my surname is not Chen!"
