Chapter 482 Zhao Zilong obeys the order!

Liu Cheng was not among those who slept in the first round. On the one hand, it was because he had good physical strength and energy, and could endure more endurance than the average person.

On the other hand, as the commander-in-chief, Liu Cheng needs to lead by example, which can better improve the cohesion of the soldiers.

At the same time, Jincheng had just been captured at this time, and many things needed to be handled by him personally.

Here in Jincheng, Liu Cheng saw the spontaneous actions of the people, heard them in his eyes, and remembered them in his heart, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

He was happy because he knew what it meant, and more because his hard work had not been let down.

The goodwill they released received an effective response.

The most uncomfortable thing in the world is to feel a hot face against a cold butt. A good intention is not rewarded, but is instead scarred.

What makes people happy is meeting good people with good intentions, giving kindly, and receiving kind responses.

This is a very happy and comforting thing.

It was at this time that Zhang Lu, who had been leading his troops to conduct a careful search in the prefect's mansion, made a new discovery.

The soldiers finally found the secret passage.

After learning the news, Zhang Lu immediately came over and asked some soldiers to enter the secret passage with torches and weapons to track him.

In Zhang Lu's imagination, it wouldn't take long for those who entered the secret passage to come out.

Bring some news you want.

As a result, time passed little by little, half an hour passed, and the soldiers who entered the tunnel did not return.

Zhang Lu and others were anxious, but also a little uneasy in their hearts, worried that something might happen to the soldiers who entered the secret passage.

Immediately, additional personnel were sent into the secret passage.

This time, there were fifty people entering the secret passage.

Another half an hour passed, but there was still no movement at the entrance of the secret passage. Zhang Lu, who was waiting impatiently, looked extremely ugly.

He felt that something big might happen!

He sent seventy people into the secret passage one after another, but in the end nothing happened. It was as if the entrance to the secret passage in front of him was a terrifying mouth of a demon!

Everyone who entered was swallowed up silently!

This time, the surprise attack on Jincheng and the capture of the entire Jincheng only resulted in the loss of one person.

As a result, now that Jincheng has been captured, seventy people here have disappeared without a trace under his nose. How can this not make Zhang Lu anxious?

Once something like this really happens, you can only say that you are incompetent!

I don’t even know how to meet the emperor’s uncle!

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was still no movement.

Zhang Lu couldn't wait any longer.

Immediately, he arranged for someone to report this matter to Uncle Liu Huang.

After explaining this matter, he took the lead and headed towards the secret passage.

He wanted to go into the secret passage himself to see what was going on and to figure it out. He couldn't let so many soldiers just disappear without a trace!

As a result, less than half way into the secret passage where there had been no movement, finally there was movement.

When Zhang Lu heard the noise, he came out again and waited for the people inside to come out.

After a while, someone emerged from the entrance of the secret passage. It was one of the second batch of people who entered the secret passage.

After this person came out, people continued to come out after him.

They all entered the secret passage to observe the situation before.

"What's going on? What did you find? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Zhang Lu, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, immediately started asking after the first person came out.

"The secret passage is very long. We started to go back after meeting the first group of people who went down in the secret passage.

They said that the secret passage leads to three miles outside the city.

They went out to track for a while and came to a courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard for a long time. There were horse hoof marks on the snow. There were quite a few of them. They should be riding two people, heading east... We don't have horses.

I couldn't catch up, so I came back..."

Listening to the soldier's answer, Zhang Lu's heart sank.

What he was most worried about happened.

If people like Matthew Mahai were still in Jincheng, then he would not be worried at all.

As long as he is in the city, he will be caught sooner or later, and there is no need to worry about these people going to Ma Teng to tip off and leak the news.

But now, these people have left the city, and looking at the direction, they are heading to Aotou Pass.

He must be looking for Ma Teng and others to report the news!

If the emperor's uncle's plan was leaked because of this, it would be really uncomfortable and regrettable!

With this thought in his mind, Zhang Lu immediately set off before he could wait for everyone to come out, speeding towards Liu Cheng.

When he was about to arrive at Liu Cheng's place, he caught up with the man who had been sent by him not long ago to report to Liu Cheng that seventy people had entered the secret passage but had never come back. He, Zhang Lu, was going to go down the secret passage in person to check the situation.

At this time, things have changed. Naturally, there is no need for this person to inform the emperor's uncle of this outdated news...

"Uncle Emperor, this is what happened. What should we do next?

After these thieves leave the city, they will definitely rush all the way to Aotou Pass, and they will leak out our occupation of Jincheng..."

Zhang Lu came to Liu Cheng, quickly told Liu Cheng what had happened, and then asked Liu Cheng what he should do next.

In his view, this matter was extremely serious.

It would even seriously threaten the grand strategy formulated by the emperor's uncle!

Let yourself and others’ previous efforts be in vain!

Liu Cheng didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Are Ma Teng and others born in the year of the rat?

He actually built such a secret passage in his home and went directly to the outside of the city!

This is a really tricky thing.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops were defeated at Aotou Pass, it was inevitable that they would lead their army to retreat to Jincheng without knowing it. After all, this was Ma Teng's base camp and a strategic location.

But after getting the news that Jincheng had been occupied by himself and others, in order not to be blocked, he was afraid that he would change direction and go to other places that were not the most preferred for them before.

If this happens, Liu Cheng's plan to block the opponent here in Jincheng will be difficult to complete.

Once Ma Teng, Han Sui and other armies are allowed to return to Liangzhou and enter the vast area of ​​Liangzhou, it will be difficult to easily solve Liangzhou's problems.

There will be a lot of trouble and the battle lines will be stretched.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and immediately called Zhao Yun over.

Zhao Yun was among the first group of people to rest. At this time, he had been sleeping for almost two hours.

Naturally, it is impossible to completely rest in two hours, but the overall mental state can be much better...

"Zilong, the thing is like this. You lead ten tiger and leopard mounted guards, one person and three horses, and set off immediately, rushing all the way to Aotou Pass.

If you can catch up with these people on the road, it's best to intercept them. If you can't catch up, you can take a detour to Aotou Pass and give this letter of mine to Niu Fu, so that he can find the right time to send troops to attack Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Completely defeat these people and let them flee!"

Liu Cheng quickly told Zhao Yun about the matter, and then handed over the task to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, this mission is urgent and puts a heavy load on people. Zilong will have to work hard."

Zhao Yun raised his hand to Liu Chengyi and said: "Zhao Yun promises to complete the task, please rest assured, uncle!"

No more words were said at the moment, and he immediately turned around and headed down.

It just looks so reassuring.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, Zhao Yun had already led ten tiger and leopard mounted guards, each with three riders, galloping towards the east.

Liu Cheng and the others came here on foot this time, without any horses.

The horses Zhao Yun and the others are riding now were obtained after they captured Jincheng.

Watching Zhao Yun and his men running away, Liu Cheng had a smile on his face.

In the past, I tried every means to accept Zhao Yun. What a wise decision I made!

Such a person with super strong force and cautious personality makes people feel at ease when he does things!

After Zhao Yun left, Liu Cheng called Li Yan over again, assigned a thousand troops and horses for Li Yan to lead, and immediately left the city and headed north.

About one hundred and fifty miles to the north, there is a city called Cangcheng.

It is another strategic point that can lead to Liangzhou.
