The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 680 679 Fire in the Backyard
"Wang Zhizhong, is that you?" Huang Quan shouted towards the next door of the secret room with all his strength.

Not long after, Huang Quan heard a voice from the next door and asked, "Who? Who is calling me?"

"Wang Zhizhong, it's me, Huang Gongheng!" Huang Quan said.

"Gongheng? You...how did you get locked in?" Wang Lei asked in surprise.

Huang Quan said: "I don't know what's going on, but I was brought here by a group of people for no reason. Wang Zhizhong, why are you here, do you know who is keeping us here?"

Wang Lei said: "How do I know who locked us here? All I know is that I went to the lord to intercede for you. After I left the State Shepherd's Mansion, I was surrounded by a group of masked men. After reacting, I was knocked out, and when I woke up, I found that I was locked here..."

Huang Quan said: "Even Wang Zhizhong dared to imprison this group of people. The forces behind them must be strong. Since they have already been imprisoned, don't think so much. Let's see what these people want to imprison us for. If you don’t believe it, they won’t come out to meet us.”

Wang Lei said: "Gongheng, you're right, if you come, you'll be safe, then let's spend time with them. I don't believe that I disappeared for no reason, no one will notice!"

Although the two are not in the same room, fortunately they can hear each other's voices. Even if they are imprisoned in such a secret room, they are finally accompanied by someone, so they won't be so lonely.And the two of them made up their minds and prepared to continue to fight these people, because they are foxes, there will always be times when their tails are exposed, and the two of them are waiting for that day.

Moreover, Wang Leigui was engaged in the governance of Yizhou and was a celebrity around Liu Zhang. He disappeared inexplicably, and someone would definitely come to look for him. It would be impossible to hide them at that time.

However, these are just Wang Lei and Huang Quan's thoughts, because they don't know who the two of them are locked up here.

In the hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, the lights were still on. Liu Zhang paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking anxious, as if he had something on his mind.

Not long after, two people dressed as generals walked in from outside the hall. As soon as the two entered the hall, they clasped their hands together and said, "See my lord!"

Liu Zhang waved his hands hastily, and asked urgently, "How is the matter going?"

"Returning to the lord, we have already done all the things that the lord asked. We have locked Wang Zhizhong and Huang Canjun in the secret room according to the lord's instructions."

After Liu Zhang heard the news, half of his nervous expression went away, and he said slowly: "That's good, that's good, in this way, you don't have to worry about someone harming them. By the way, you can handle this matter." When, did anyone else know?"

Both generals shook their heads.

Liu Zhang said: "You are doing very well, go down first, take good care of the two of them, don't neglect anything, if there is any problem with the two of them, please come and see them!"

"Here!"

The two generals resigned slowly, and Liu Zhang's heart finally eased when he raised his throat. Under such circumstances, he had to be cautious at every step.Wang Lei and Huang Quan are his brain trusters. If they can't even protect them well, what face would they have to meet his father under the nine springs?

In fact, Liu Zhang is not unaware of Zhang Ren's arrogance and domineering, and he knows that Zhang Ren formed a party for personal gain and used power for profit.But he can only turn one eye and close one eye. The reason is very simple. He trusted Zhang Ren too much before, so much so that he raised tigers as a threat. Only then did Zhang Ren form a huge party wing, which not only spread throughout the entire army, but also It spread all over Yizhou, but his power was inexplicably emptied, as if he had become Zhang Ren's puppet.

Liu Zhang was naturally unwilling, so he wanted to fight back. In terms of some personnel appointments, he still has the final say. At least, under his careful arrangements, Zhang Ren has not yet reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand.

Originally, Liu Zhang had already planned some things and wanted to take back his lost power. Unfortunately, Zhang Fei's sudden arrival completely broke his whole plan. As a result, he had to let Zhang Ren rush to the battlefield. Go face Zhang Fei.

In fact, the biggest shortcoming of Liu Zhang is his lack of awareness. Only when he realizes the seriousness of the situation will he feel that the crisis is really coming.But by that time, the crisis has been secretly lurking around him in all directions, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time.It's just that he himself didn't realize how serious the situation was.

Zhang Ren has many eyeliners in Chengdu, even in the state pastoral mansion. Liu Zhang is under Zhang Ren's surveillance, so some things Liu Zhang does cannot be hidden from Zhang Ren's eyes.Later, Liu Zhang discovered the abnormality and began to gradually eliminate suspicious people around him, and replaced them with people he trusted enough to recover a little loss.

Zhang Ren framed Huang Quan because he felt that Huang Quan was in the way, and Wang Lei is a straightforward person. After knowing this, he will come to seek justice for Huang Quan.If something happened to Wang Lei again, I couldn't believe how Zhang Ren would deal with him.So Liu Zhang came up with a way to protect Wang Lei and Huang Quan from persecution.

The news that Huang Quan was rescued from the cell quickly reached Zhang Ren's ears. At this time, Zhang Ren was resting in the barracks outside the city. When he suddenly heard the news, he seemed very angry and ordered his subordinates to stop. Find out the truth, and let those who dare to openly oppose him all die in front of him.

At the same time, Zhang Ren also vaguely felt a little uneasy. Before he sent troops, the backyard was on fire. If he was on the battlefield and the fire in the backyard was getting bigger and bigger, wouldn't he be facing the enemy?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ren felt a chill run down his spine. Most of the confidantes he has carefully arranged over the years are officials in the army, such as Liu Gui, Deng Xian, Leng Bao, Gao Pei, Yang Huai and others , These are all the objects he tried to win over. Fortunately, Liu Gui, Deng Xian, Gao Pei, and Yang Huai were killed respectively, and all the troops of his subordinates were recruited by Zhang Fei. Although Leng Bao was not dead, he took refuge in the enemy Yes, this also made him feel lost for a while.

Now, there are not many available people around Zhang Ren, and the only one he can trust is himself.

Tonight may be destined to be an extraordinary night. The people Zhang Ren sent to the city searched for a whole night, but they couldn't find any clues. It seemed that the world had evaporated. Huang Quan and Wang Lei also had no news.As for who did it, no one knows.

Confidence was fed back to Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren felt that this matter was a bit strange, but the battle was imminent, and he had to face Zhang Fei, but he was worried that his backyard would catch fire, so he left his brother Zhang Xing in Chengdu to deal with it. Take care of the aftermath and do your best to keep yourself and your family safe.

At dawn, Zhang Ren, who had not slept all night, walked out of the big tent. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly and the army outside the tent began to gather, he turned over and jumped on his horse. Riding on the horse, he began to command the soldiers and prepare to set off.

At Chenshi, Zhang Ren led the rest of the army, one day after Yu Wu Yi's soldiers and horses, officially set off towards Luocheng.

At this moment, Wu Yi and the others had already reached Xindu City. After the sun rose, Wu Yi and the others regrouped their troops and marched eastward from Xindu County to Luocheng along the official road.

……

Under the arrangement of Fazheng, Luocheng and Zhang Fei, everything is ready, just waiting for Liu Zhang's army to arrive.

In the past two days, the scouts kept sending news, Zhang Fei and others were gearing up, and Zhang Fei himself was very excited, always wanting to compete with Zhang Yi.

But who knew, after waiting for such a long time, Zhang Fei was not waiting for Zhang Ren, but Wu Yi.

Who is Wu Yi?

Zhang Fei hadn't heard of it, and he didn't bother to hear about it. Anyway, he only had Zhang Ren in his eyes.

Just after the hour, the scouts came to report that Wu Yi led an army of [-] and had entered the border of Luocheng, less than fifty miles away from Luocheng, and would arrive at the city of Luocheng in about an hour.

Zhang Fei tried his best and was about to lead his troops to fight a battle, but was stopped by Fazheng.

"Military Master, the enemy army is about to approach the city soon. I will lead the troops out of the city to ambush on the way. I will be caught off guard when I kill the enemy army. Why do you stop me?" Zhang Fei asked puzzled.

Fazheng said: "My lord, Wu Yi has many generals, and besides, he is a veteran general of the Sichuan Army. He is both civil and military, quite resourceful, and all the generals under him are also brave and good at fighting..."

"He is brave and good at fighting, and my subordinates are not vegetarians!" Zhang Fei shouted.

Fazheng said: "My lord, the strength of our army seems to be quite large, but if we really fight, I am afraid that we will be defeated in one blow. My lord, think about it carefully, how many soldiers and horses in the city are kept in the dark. Know the details? If they learn the truth of the matter, they will definitely turn against each other on the battlefield, and our army will be defeated by the enemy at that time, and it will undoubtedly be defeated..."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, but after Fazheng's reminder, he felt a little worried.There are [-] to [-] soldiers and horses in the city, but not all of them sincerely surrendered. Most of them were kept in the dark. Among them, the subordinates of Gao Pei and Yang Huai were the most typical ones. It was a real rebellion, and Yan Yan was really sent to lead the army. If they knew that the real ruler was Zhang Fei, these troops would definitely fight back.

"Military Master, what should we do now? We can't just sit and wait for death, right?" Zhang Fei asked.

Fazheng said: "The city of Luocheng is solidly defended, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is sufficient food and fodder in the city, which is enough for us to hold on for several months. As long as we hold on and don't fight, even Wu Yi can't do anything against us..."

"Be a shrinking turtle?" Zhang Fei frowned and asked with disdain.
